{c:|ntro: [C] [Am] [C] [Am]}
Way [C]out in [F]London [C]airport in [F]hangar number [C]four
A [C]lonely little [Am]biplane lived whose [Dm]name was Ever-[G]more
His [C]working [F]days were [C]over [F]no more would he [C]sail
Up-[F]on his wings a-[C]bove the clouds [G]flying the royal [C]mail
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[C]Bye bye biplane [F]once upon a [C]sky plane
[F]Bye bye [C]hushabye [G]lullabye [C]plane [Am] [C] [Am]
{eoc}
[C]All the [F]mighty [C]jet planes would [F]look down their [C]nose
They'd [C]laugh and say oh [Am]I'm so glad that [Dm]I'm not one of [G]those
And [C]Ever-[F]more would [C]shake away the [F]teardrops from his [C]wings
And [F]dream of days when [C]he again could [G]do heroic [C]things
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[C]Bye bye biplane [F]once upon a [C]sky plane
[F]Bye bye [C]hushabye [G]lullabye [C]plane [Am] [C] [Am]
{eoc}
[C]Then one [F]day the [C]fog and rain had [F]closed the airport [C]down
And [C]all the mighty [Am]jet planes were [Dm]helpless on the [G]ground
When a [C]call came [F]to the [C]airport [F]for a mercy [C]flight
'Twould [F]be too late, they [C]could not wait, some-[G]one must fly to-[C]night
{c:One strum each chord for first two lines of this verse}
Ah they [C]↓rolled the little [Am]↓biplane out to [C]↓runway number [Am]↓five
And [C]↓though he looked so [Am]↓small and weak he [Dm]↓knew he could sur-[G]↓vive
And [C]as he [F]rose in-[C]to the storm the [F]big jets hung their [C]wings
And they [F]hoped someday like [C]Evermore to [G]do heroic [C]things
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[C]Bye bye biplane [F]once upon a [C]sky plane
[F]Bye bye [C]hushabye [G]lullabye [C]plane [Am] [C] [Am]
{eoc}
And [C]so my [F]baby [C]bundle I have [F]spun a tale for [C]you
[C]You must learn there's [Am]nothing in this [Dm]world that you can't [G]do
[C]Do not [F]be dis-[C]couraged by [F]circumstance or [C]size
Re-[F]member Ever-[C]more and set your [G]sights upon the [C]skies
{c:FINAL CHORUS:}
{soc}
[C]Bye bye biplane [F]once upon a [C]sky plane
[F]Bye bye [C]hushabye [G]lullabye [C]plane
[C]Bye bye biplane [F]once upon a [C]sky plane
[F]Bye bye [C]hushabye [G]lullabye [C]plane
