Airline to Heaven
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Ave. Vol II.
I was pretty shocked and disappointed there was no tab for this song, it's such a great
This might not be correct the way Jeff plays it but it sounds decent to me. At the
least it's better than no tab at all. If you don't strum at least similar to the real
this will sound like crap.
The rhythm is pretty easy to figure out, just play along. The verses and choruses are
only point the rhythm guitar changes, and you pretty much just use half as many chord
everything slows down in that sense.
Enjoy!

Intro
D G D G etc.
There's an airline plane
Flies to heaven everyday
Past the pearly gates
If you want to ride this train
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it is too late
If the world looks wrong
And your money's spent and gone
And your friend has turned away
You can get away to heaven
On this aeroplane
Just bow your head and pray
Them's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take this airline plane
It'll take you home again
A D (with riff)
To your home behind the skies
