Airline to Heaven Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermain Avenue Volume 2 [2000] Tabbed by deemen This is a great song with very few tabs. I did this by ear and looking at a few videos it's far from perfect, but it should get you started. This song is played with a capo on the 2nd fret. The chords can be played without Capo the main riff is pretty much impossible to play without it (at least I haven't found a way) Main Riff (Capo 2) |-e---|---2--3p2---2p0--------| |-B---|--(3)----------3--3p0--| |-G---|---------------------2-| |-D---|-0---------------------| |-A---|-----------------------| |-E---|-----------------------| Chords (respectively): With Capo: D G A -2--3--0-| -3--3--2-| -2--0--2-| -0--0--2-| -x--2--0-| -x--3--x-| Without Capo: E A B -0--0--2-| -0--2--4-| -1--2--4-| -2--2--4-| -2--0--2-| -0--x--x-| Intro: Main Riff + D G D G D G There's an airline plane D G D Flies to heaven everyday G D G Past the pearly gates D G D G If you want to ride this train D G D Have your ticket in your hand G D G Before it is too late D G D G If the world looks wrong D G D And your money's spent and gone G D G And your friend has turned away D G D G You can get away to heaven D G D On this aeroplane G D G Just bow your head and pray D G D D G G Them's got ears, let them hear D D A A Them's got eyes, let them see D D G G D Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies G D Take this airline plane D G D A A A It'll take you home again D G To your home behind the skies D G D G D G D G -- Repeat -- Well a lot of people guess Some say no and some say yes Will it take some and leave some behind? But you will surely know When to the airport go To leave this world behind Oh a lot of speakers speak A lot of preachers preach When you lay their salary on the line You hold your head and pray It's the only earthly way You can fly to heaven on time Fly to heaven on time Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies Take that airline plane It'll take you home again To your home behind the skies Your ticket you obtain On this heavenly airline plane You leave your sins behind You've got to take this flight It may be daytime, might be night But you can't see your way if you're blind Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies Take that airline plane It'll take you home again To your home behind the skies
