G                          C
Left New York this morning early
          G                 D7
Traveling south so wide and high
        G                     C
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
          G        D7             G
It’s that air mail special on the fly

                     C
Listen to the motors humming
       G                     D7
She is streaking through the sky
       G                  C
Like a bird that’s flying homeward
          G        D7             C
It’s that air mail special on the fly

                          C
Over plains and high dark mountains
     G               D7
Over rivers deep and wide
         G           C
Carrying mail to California
          G        D7             G
It’s that air mail special on the fly

                         C
Watch her circle for the landing
         G                  D7
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
          G               C
Now she’s coming down the runway
          G        D7             G
It’s that air mail special on the fly
