Come Home Billy Bird

E Bm F#m A D Dm

A             D
William wakes with his clothes on.
A                D
The morning call has been and gone,
       Bm             G                      A    C Bm
And he might not make the flight but he will try.
A                   D
Bit by bit it comes back to him,
A                  D
A bunch of Belgian business men
      Bm               G
And a strange drinking game, oh God why?

E         Bm          F#m           A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D         Dm
Come home Billy Bird.

A                      D
He hails a cab but the driver sucks.
A                          D
He drives so slowly and he talks so much
        Bm               G              A C Bm
That it hurts Billy Bird's aching brain.
A                    D
He runs from the cab to the check-in desk.
A                   D                       Bm
She says, "no way", but William begs on his knees,
                 G
"Please, please, please." "Well OK".

E         Bm          F#m           A

A                    D
Drenched in sweat he finds his seat
A                                  D
And with the luggage squeezed down beneath his feet
   Bm                   G                   A     C
He begins to think that things can't get no worse.
A                                D
But then a voice says, bags that can't be stowed
       A                    D               Bm
In the overhead locker must go below in the hold,
           G
Please let go, thank-you sir

A                   D                   A               D
He runs on past the carousel screaming, damn my luggage all to hell.
      Bm                  G       A   C
I can buy a new shirt and tie any day.
A                         D
He rides from the airport into town,
A                  D
To the high-school football ground
          Bm           G                      Dm
Where his son has just begun his big football game.
