[Intro]
C F G Em C

[Verse]
C                                                  F
Well, a curly-headed girl with a bright shining smile
G                                                                          C
Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky
                                                        F
To her playmates she said, with a bright twinkling eye
G                                                C
My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
                                 F
My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
C                              G
My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
        C                               F
My Mama's not afraid and neither am I
              G                                             C
'Cause my Daddy flies that ship in the sky

G C

[Verse]
                                                   F
Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels
              G                                                        C
He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel
                                                       F
My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky
          G                                                              C
And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high
                                                F
That's what keeps your daddy up there so high
  C                                                   G
That's what keeps your daddy up there so high
        C                                            F
My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky
          G                                                              C
And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high

G C

[Verse]
                                                           F
Then a freckle-faced kid pinched his toe in the sand
                 G                                                           C
He says, My Daddy works at that place where they land
                                  F
You tell your mama, don't be afraid
G                                                             C
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
                                            F
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
C                                            G
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
C                                       F
Don't be afraid when it gets dark and rains
G                                                             C
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
