Antje Duvekot - Ballad Of Fred Noonan
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G Bm C Am
G
Your eyes would shine, Amelia
Bm
And I mistook it for love
C Am
When you asked me to go
G
As your celestial navigator
Bm
We would round the earth together
C Am
I would work the radio
D Em C
Oh, but Amelia all those miles were just a sum
D Em C
You were living on a runway, what were you running from?
G
But I loved you open-hearted
Bm
And I held your hand at night
C Am
High above the Pacific Sea
G
Still, it's like you were flying solo
Bm
And I was only standing by
C Am
On your flight of fancy
D Em C
Never looked back 'til we were running out of fuel
D Em C
We were running out of land, I was running out of you
CHORUS:
Em C
Oh, Amelia, but don't I feel like a clown
G
Ohh, you went down in history
D
Well, me, I just went down
Em C
Oh oh oh, sweet Amelia, you will never be found
G
Didn't even know your own heart
D G
Hey, but it don't matter now, hmmmm
Your sustenance was fame and
Bm
You were starving for a thrill
C Am
Not afraid of a thing
G
Couldn't you've wished upon a rainbow
Bm
Just like everybody else?
C Am
But you had to wish on lightning
D Em C
Ohh, and I was just a pawn in your adventure
D Em C
Oh, and I was just a casualty of a stubborn will
CHORUS:
Em C
Oh, Amelia, but don't I feel like a clown
G
Ohh, you went down in history
D
Well, me, I just went down
Em C
Oh oh oh, sweet Amelia, you will never be found
G
Didn't even know your own heart
D
Hey, but it don't matter now
G
The more I think about it now
Bm
It's only up above the clouds
C Am
That our love was ever real
G
And as the mist grew thicker
Bm
At the static's eerie silence
C Am
My heart stood still
D Em C
Oh, and the last thing that you said was, you were sorry
D Em C
I did it for love, you did it for glory
CHORUS:
Em C
Oh, Amelia, but don't I feel like a clown
G
Ohh, you went down in history
D
Well, me, I just went down
Em C
Oh oh oh, sweet Amelia, you will never be found
G
Didn't even know your own heart
D C G
Hey, but it don't matter now, hmmmmm
