The Biplane Ever More

    C      F      C
Way out at London Airport
   F      G      C
In hangar number four
  C             Em
A lonely little biplane slept
      F             G
Whose name was Ever More
    C       F         C
His working days were over
F       G        C
No more would he sail
 F              C        Am
Upon his wings above the clouds
F          G     C
Flyin' the Royal Mail

[Chorus]
C       G
Bye-bye biplane
F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane
F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye
Dm7   G C    Am C Am
Lulla-biplane

[Verse 2]
C       F      C
All the mighty jet planes
      F    G          C
Would look down their nose
       C                   Em
They'd laugh and say, "Oh, I'm so glad that
F              G
I'm not one of those"
    C   F          C
And Evermore would shake away
    F         G        C
The teardrops from his wings
    F                  C   Am
And dream of days when he again
      F     G   C
Could do heroic things

[Chorus]
C       G
Bye-bye biplane
F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane
F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye

[Verse 3]
C        F       C
Then one day the fog and rain
    F          G       C
Had closed the airport down
    C              Em
And all the mighty jet planes
     F               G
Were helpless on the ground
       C         F      C
When a call came to the airport
F     G     C
For a mercy flight
        F                 C         Am
'Twould be too late, they could not wait
    F        G     C
Someone must fly tonight

[Bridge]
     Am                Em
They rolled the little biplane
       Am            Em
Out to runway number five
    F                   C
And though he looked so small and weak
   D7               G
He knew he could survive

[Verse 4]
    C            F      C
And as he rose into the storm
    F          G          C
The jet planes hung their wings
         F                   C    Am
And they hoped someday, like Ever More
   F     G   C
To do heroic things

[Chorus]
C       G
Bye-bye biplane
F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane
F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye
Dm7   G C    Am C Am
Lulla-biplane

[Verse 2]
   C      F     C
Ah so, me billy bundle
       F      G        C
I have spun a tale for you
C                      Em
You must learn there's nothing
        F                    G
In this world that you can't do
    C      F     C
Ah, do not be discouraged
   F     G         C
By circumstance or size
  F           C        Am
Remember Ever More and set your
F         G      C
Sights up in the skies

[Chorus]
C       G
Bye-bye biplane
F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane
F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye
Dm7   G C
Lulla-biplane

[Chorus]
C       G
Bye-bye biplane
F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane
F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye
Dm7   G C    Am C Am
