That old Kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day

The stars were twinklin' in the milky way

The pilot said "If you look close, there's Frankfort on the right"

I flew over our house last night

Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep 
G D A 
And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep 
D G  
So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right 
A D  
I flew over our house last night 
 
 
 
G  
For just one second I thought I was back in town 
A G D 
The man your friends all say has only brought you down

The airline hostess asked me sir "Are you sure that you're alright" 
A D D7 
I flew over our house last night 
 
 
 
G D 
Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep 
G D A 
And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep 
D G  
I wondered did you toss n' turn as I roared out of sight 
A D 
I flew over our house last night
