         G
A couple guys in first class on a flight 
                         Bm
From new York to Los Angeles, 

Kinda making small talk killing time, 
                                   C

Flirting with the flight attendants, 

30, 000 feet above, could be Oklahoma, 
       G
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms, 
                     Bm
Man it all looks the same, 

Miles and miles of back roads and highways, 
                                     C
Connecting little towns with funny names, 
                                                                             D
Who'd want to live down there in the middle 
   
of nowhere,


CHORUS:

              Em                  C
They've never drove through Indiana, 
                G
Met the men who plowed that earth, 
                   D
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me, 
            
            Em               C
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas, 
                  D                      C
They'd understand why god made those fly over states


VERSE:

G                                                               
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
                                                           Bm
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul
C
Road and rails under their feet
D 
 Yeah that sounds like a first class seat




CHORUS: 
       Em             C
On the plains of Oklahoma 
              G
Where the windshield sunset in your eyes
       D
Like a watercolor painted sky


            Em                  C        
You'd think heavens doors have opened
                  D
You'll understand why god made 
          C
Those fly over states

[solo]
Em, C, D, C X2

       Em               C
Take a ride across the badlands
G 
Feel that freedom on your face
D
Breathe in all that open space

       Em             C
Meet a girl from Amarillo
                  D
You'll understand why god made
                  C 
Why you'd want to plant your stakes
             G
In those fly over states
