[Intro]
E Bm F#m A D Dm
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
E Bm F#m A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D Dm
Come home Billy Bird.
[Verse 2]
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".
[Chorus]
E Bm F#m A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D Dm
Come home Billy Bird.
[Interlude]
A D A D
A D A D
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
E Bm F#m A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D Dm
Come home Billy Bird.
[Interlude]
F#m C#m F#m A
Come home William
D Dm
Come home
[Verse 4]
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.
[Chorus]
E Bm F#m A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D Dm
Come home Billy Bird.
E Bm F#m A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D Dm
Come home Billy Bird.
E Bm F#m A
Come home Billy Bird, international business traveller.
D Dm
Come home Billy Bird.
