Hey, you know [C] it was Veterans Day recently.
[Dm] .
And [C] it got me thinking about [Dm] .
[E] veterans and our [D] particular generation of them.
[C] Turns out [G] there's a whole lot of very [D] highly trained young fellas [Bm] that came back [C] from that .
[D] war that couldn't find [C] no work for what they learned how to do.
.
[Bm] So they had to invent a cottage [G] industry [Am].
because what they [G] could do [Dm] was fly [C] right next to trees .
[D] and into very dangerous [Am] situations.
[D] And there's not [E] much [Dm] call for it at United Airlines, if you know what I'm saying.

[Em] So by popular demand was invented the treetop [D] flyer.
