The Finer Points Of Flying


This is the bonus track on UK edition of the fabulous 'Oh! Mighty Engine' album released on Jack Johnson's Brushfire records label. Classic example of the simple genius of the old surfer dude. (Verse 1) C F C 6 Hours and 90 minutes, the distance increment F G C For you I have found, the way to compound, every minute the minute you're in it. C F C And the finer points of flying, the rules for living not dying. F G C Yeah we're up here for now, let's not wonder how, we're airbourne and hope to stay in it. (Chorus) F G C Babe why don't we admit it F G C We like it but we don't know what's in it. F G C F C And the finer points of flying, were hard to explain. F C They're hard to explain. (Verse 2) C F C In the ins and outs of trying, tender bouts of lying F G C That keeps love alive, that river is dry, the metaphor hard to deliver. C F C 5 Hours and 90 minutes, the distance less increment F G C For you I have found, the way to compound, every minute the minute you're in it. C F C And the finer points of flying, the rules for living not dying. F G C Yeah we're up here for now, let's not wonder how, we're airbourne and hope to stay in it. (Chorus) F G C Babe why don't we admit it F G C We like it but we don't know what's in it. F G C F C And the finer points of flying, were hard to explain. F C F C They're hard to explain. They're hard to explain.
