P-Fifty-one

Back in the days 

Of the world war

When I served 

In the air corps 

Can still hear 

The strangled roar…

Of engine tuned 

To fever pitch

She was a mean

High flyin’ witch

You struck out

Or struck it rich

P-fifty-one

[Refrain]

Fallin’ - Oh I think I’m fallin’

Fallin’ out of the blue

Fallin’ - Oh I think I’m fallin’

Fallin’ in love with you

P-fifty-one

Take off at dawn

Plenty lead

For those big guns

But some how

Lost it in the sun

Over Guam.

[Refrain]

Fallin’ Oh I think I’m fallin’

Fallin’ out of the blue

Spinnin’ The whole word is spinnin

Just like my mind over you

Waitin’ At The Window

Am          E7               Am       E7
My luv's waiting at the window
Am          E7               Am       E7
I see the sunlight in her (his) hair
                 G       D
But by the time I knock,
         F                    C
The door is locked and it
Fm6       G (or Bb)         Am
Seems like there's no one there

Am          E7               Am       E7
My luv’s riding on the highway
Am          E7               Am       E7
On a chrome and silver bike
                 C       G
But when I cross the rail
         Bb              F                  
To pick up her (his) trail
Ab            Bb         C
She’s (He's) vanished into the night

Am          E7               Am       E7
My luv is a girl (boy) of beauty
Am          E7               Am       E7
Big brown eyes, long (short) hair of red

                 C       G
But I’m beginning to see
         Bb              F      
That there’s only me
Dm       E7       Am
And this fantasy in my head
