PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING - Spitfire chords
Start Jamming...
[F#] The birds fly a lot better than we do.
See how they wheel and bank and glide?
And all in one.
Wings, body, tail, all in one.
Someday I'm going to build a plane that'll be just like a bird.
[B]
[F#] This isn't exactly a bird I'm creating, is it?
At least it's a curious little bird.
[B] A bird that breathes fire and spits out death and destruction.
[F#] A spitfire bird.
[C#]
[F#] A spitfire [C#m] bird.
[F#]
Faster, always faster.
What a strange looking machine.
Can't see a spit in the air without getting a kick out of it.
Why is it like a bird?
A spitfire bird.
[B]
[F#] A spitfire bird.
[C#m]
[F#]
[C#m] [B]
It's tiring always stretching out for something [C#m] that's just out of reach.
But I'll get it.
[B] After all, what I want isn't as easy as all that.
[F#] Got to do 400 miles an hour, turn on a sixpence, climb 10,000 feet [B] in a few minutes,
dive at 500 without the wings coming off, [F#] carry eight machine guns.
[C#m] It's [B] approaching Fiji from southeast, Angel's One.
Right, hold [F#] on.
Man, it's an hour, but you should see a [C#] maidenhead in the dusk.
Hello, [B] Hunter.
Hunter, leave out.
Careful, control, calling.
Can you see them?
Can [F#] you see them?
[C#]
[F#] [D#m]

Spitfire [F#] bird.
