Well I dreamt I went away on a steam powered aeroplane.                                    
  C                                           G
I went and stayed and I damn near didn't come back again.
               G                       Am
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aeroplane,            
       C                                                    G
Oh the wheels went around, up and down, and inside and then back again.
 
Am                                  Bm
Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by,
Am                                  G
Can't tell if it sunshine or it's rain.
Am                                        G
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City,
     Am      Am/B          C         C/G           D
On a genuine old-fashioned authentic steam powered aero plane.

                      G                         Am
Well I'd like to be a pi-lot on a steam powered aeroplane.
         C                                     G
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again.
                      G                                  Am
Well, I'd wear a blue hat, yeah, that says Steam Powered Aeroplane
     C                                           G
With letters that go all around the rim and then back again.
