Capo: 5th fret
[Intro]
C Cadd4 C C
C F C C
[Verse 1]
C Cadd4 C C
Make amends, tell your childhood friend they were something to you
C Cadd4 C C
Cos it gets dark, And when it's so dark you gonna wish for a light or two
C Cadd4 C C
No we don't TALK like we used to do in the meadows of our youth
C Cadd4 C C7
But you're a PART of the last good, Truth 'fore this yellow took my tooth
[Chorus 1]
F C
Time like a howlin' jet plane takin' off for good
D7 D F C/E F/G F/E
I'm but a passenger I never said I understood
C Cadd4 C F
What good does the flyin' do, what good?
[Verse 2]
C Cadd4 C C
Here I am standing at the edge of this wooden pier
C Cadd4 C C
And through this fog at the Waterfront docks see the ship sails disappear
C Cadd4 C C
Yes it is GONE to another shore where they sky's shiny, blue and clear
C Cadd4 C C7
But is it WRONG to expect return at the end of a troubled year?
[Chorus 2]
F C
Time like a smokey steam boat takin' off for good
D7 D F C/E F/G F/E
I'm but a passenger I never said I understood
C Cadd4 C F
What good does the sailin' do, what good? what good? what good?
C Cadd4 C C
What good does the flyin' do, what good?
[Verse 3]
C Cadd4 C C
Rocky road, must I pay your toll every time I ride?
C Cadd4 C C
Cos all your street lights lead me somewhere deep neath the county line
C Cadd4 C C
And the SONG on the radio well it's cuttin' in and out
C Cadd4 C C7
And how LONG till my engine blows, till my vessel's breaking down
[Chorus 3]
F C
Time like a racin' speed car takin' off for good
D7 D F C/E F/G F/E
I'm but a passenger I never said I understood
C Cadd4 C F
What good does the drivin' do, what good? what good? what good?
C Cadd4 C F
What good does the sailin' do, what good? what good? what good?
C Cadd4 C C
What good does the flyin' dooooo, ah?

make amends
tell your childhood friend they were something to you
‘cuz it gets dark
and when it’s all dark
you’re gon’ wish for a light or two
no we don’t talk like we used to do
in the meadows of our youth
but you’re a part of the last good truth
‘fo this yellow took my tooth
time like a howling jet plane
taking off for good
i’m but a passenger, i never said i understood
what good does a flyin’ do, what good
here i am
standing at the edge of this wooden pier
and through this fog
at the waterfront docks
see the ship sails disappear
yes it is gone to another shore
where the sky’s shiny blue and clear
but is it wrong to expect return
at the end of a troubled year
time like a smokin’ steamboat
takin’ off fo’ good
i’m but a passenger, i never said i understood
what good does a sailin’ do, what good
what good, what good
what good does a flyin’ do, what good
rocky road
must i pay a toll every time i ride
cuz’ all your streetlights lead me
somewhere beneath the county line
and the song on the radio
well it’s cutting in an’ out
and not long ’til my engine blows
still my vessel’s breaking down
time like a racing speed car
takin’ off fo’ good
i’m but a passenger, i never said i understood
what good does a drivin’ do, what good
what good, what good
what good does a sailin’ do, what good
what good, what good
what good does a flyin’ do, wah
