CThere I was, Slim Dusty by my sDide
CHORUS
I was flCyin' wiDth the kGing
Ridin' on the wEmind
A small town boy from noCwhere
My head up in the clDouds
All the tiCmes I hDeard him plGay
And here I was tEmoday
I was flCyin', I was flDyin' with the kiGng
VERSE 2
Was TrGumby ridin' slow

ThGe desert stretchin' on
Home to cEmountless Dusty songs
He wCas the man who walked a country mDile
CHORUS
I was flCyin' wDith the kGing
Ridin' on the wEMind
A small town boy from noCwhere
My head up in the clDouds

Capo 2

VERSE 1

It was Ansett 603

He sits down next to me

C G

We were flyin' out across the Great Divide

Bound for WA

He shook my hand and said g'day

C D

There I was, Slim Dusty by my side

CHORUS

C D G

I was flyin' with the king

Ridin' on the wind

A small town boy from nowhere

My head up in the clouds

C D G

All the times I heard him play

And here I was today

C D G

I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king

VERSE 2

Was Trumby ridin' slow

30,000 feet below

C G

Way down there round a fire of gidgee coal

The desert stretchin' on

Home to countless Dusty songs

C D

He was the man who walked a country mile

CHORUS

C D G

I was flyin' with the king

Ridin' on the wind

A small town boy from nowhere

My head up in the clouds

C D G

All the times I heard him play

And here I was today

C D G

I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king

(solo) G,EM,C,D

BRIDGE

Before I knew the wheels touched down

He smiled and said "I'll see you round"

C D

There was so much more to say but he was gone

An' now he's gone…

CHORUS

C D G

I was flyin' with the king

Ridin' on the wind

A small town boy from nowhere

My head up in the clouds

C D G

All the times I heard him play

And here I was today

C D G

I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king

End on G.
