E C#7
I woke up at four
F# B
Callin’ my dad to see if he can drop me off at the airport
E C#7 F#
My carry-on bag, has enough clothes
B
to last me
E C#7
I got it all set up
F# B
Twitter location updated so my feed won’t be berated with the
E C#7
"Hey where are you?
F# B
Don’t ignore me"
[Prechorus]
A G#
I’ll tell ‘em that, (I'll tell 'em that) I’m gonna be in Bangor (Bangor, Maine)
A
I hope they can keep, their jealousy under wraps
[Chorus]
A E
The doors draw back by themselves and I awaken
A E
Hear the wind blowin’ in my ears
A E C#
Though the seat next to me may contain something contagious
F# B
An itch can’t pull the smile out 'a me
A E
Now the seat belt light is on if you can make it to the
A G#
bathroom it’s already too late
A E/B C#
So, put your headphones on and when you open your
F# B E
eyes you’ll be in Maine
[Pilot Intercom Solo]
E C#7 F#
Well everyone we've reached our cruising altitude of
B
'bout 35,000 feet
E C#7
It looks like... blue skies from here til Portland
F# B
We'll be touching on the ground in about, uhhhhh, 25 minutes
[Verse 2]
E C#7 F#
I step out into the conditioned air of the glorious
B E
Portland International Jetport (no smoking please)
C#7 F# B
Yes, all eleven gates of it...
E C#7
And whoa! all the lights, the blurry sights
F# B
You know that those sights seem so unsightly
E C#7 F# B
I’ll give it a day or two, to see if the sun keeps this shade of gray, yeah
[Prechorus]
A G#
I hit the club, or should I say the Denny’s
A
Maybe I’ll go mess with Stephen King
[Chorus]
A E
The doors draw back by themselves and I awaken
A E
Hear the wind blowin’ in my ears
A E C#
Though the seat next to me may contain something contagious
F# B
An itch can’t pull the smile out 'a me
A E
Now the seat belt light is on if you can make it to the
A G#
bathroom it’s already too late
A E/B C#
So, put your headphones on and when you open your
F# B E
eyes you’ll be in Maine
[Break]
E C#7 F# B
(Scatting)
E C#7 F# B
(More scatting)
E C#7 F# B E C#7 F# B
Snow hats, lobsters, pine trees, chowder
E C#7 F# B E C#7 F# B
Snow hats, lobsters, pine trees, chowder
E C#7 F# B E C#7 F# B
Snow hats, lobsters, pine trees, chowder (one, two, come on)
[Chorus]
A E
The doors draw back by themselves and I awaken

[Outro]

Woo Maine
E C#7 F# B
You know, um, since I wrote this I have not been back to Maine
E C#7 F# B E
But I have been to Florida... and it... uh... it's not...
N.C.
Suck it, Florida
