La International Airport chords by Susan Raye

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C DM G7 C


Verse 1:
C
Standing in the silent hall waitin' for the final call
            G7
Says he doesn't love me anymore

Shaking hands I pack a bag, trembling voice I call a cab
               C
Slowly I start walking to the door

The cab arrives he blows his horn, I stumble at in the early morn
                 G7
Tell him of the place I've got to go

Passed a hundred signal lights, paid the bills and a traffic fine
                      C
Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow


Chorus:
C7        F    G7            C
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
         DM    G7        C
LA International Airport I won't see him anymore


Verse 2:
C
The stewardess in a miniskirt, a hippie in a leather shirt
                G7
I started on the way to Naples Rome
G7
While I'm wondering where it's at, I see a Paris diplomat
                    C
Call his kids while trying to get back home

Baggage car goes quickly by, I see my case and start to cry
              G7
Stumble to the lounge to be alone

And while I'm trying to get some rest, I bite my lips and try my best
                     C
To fight the pain that's making me leave home


Chorus:
C7        F    G7            C
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
         DM    G7        C
LA International Airport I won't see him anymore


Verse 3:
C
With silver wings across the sky paper trails and wave goodbye
                   G7
To those below who've got to stay at home
G7
I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight
              C
Rid myself of every tear I own
C
Soaring high above the heavens in a 747 fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
                          G7
Captain's voice so loud and clear amplifies into my ear
                C
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies


Chorus:
C7        F    G7            C
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
         DM    G7        C
LA International Airport I won't see him anymore
