I've transposed this piece to be played in D for the lower range voices

1000 Miles Dwight Yoakum
[D] Runway 4, Flight 209
teardrops fall we start to [G] climb
this window seat proved a poor [A7] choice
it shows a dream that's been [D] destroyed
[D] Little baby starts to cry
hey, I would too if not for [G] pride
I owe so much to pride it's [A7] true
it brought an end to me and [D] you
(Chorus)
If I could I turn [G] around
set my feet back on the [D] ground
all this plane ride holds for [A7] me
[G] is a 1000 miles of [D] misery
Instrumental Break
[D] I hear the engines, watch the clouds
the whole damn world looks distant [G] now
but I can't seem to put no [A7] space
[G] 'tween my cold heart and your sweet [D]
face
[D] Cross the aisle they're holdin' hands
revealing brand new wedding [G] bands
but our sweet gold its gone to [A7] rust
[G] and now my life has turned to [D] dust
Chorus
[D] All this plane ride holds for [A7] me
[G] is a 1000 miles of [D] misery
