I am Old Bush Pilot-Robin Hopper
Robin Hopper sent this tab to me;  it is the way she sings
It on her album: Up On A  Mountain Top
bluerabbit10
I?m Cjust an old bush C7pilot, the Fblue sky is my Chome.
I fly the wild Amvastness, from FD7ort Yukon to  GNome.
From CJuneau to Point C7Barrow, over Fsnow and land and E7sea,
And Flike the soaring Ceagle, the Dm7wind it Gcalls to Cme.
I Clearned when I was C7young, to Ffly by the seat of my Cpants.
Got no use for Amradar, and I?ve D7got no need for Gmaps.
I Cuse the wild C7rivers, and I rFead that frozen lE7and.
I re - Fly on what they Ctell me, and Dm7on my Gsteady Chand.
Well, I Ffly all kind of weather, and E7it?s a thankless Amjob.
I?m D7kissin? all the treetops, and I?m Gplaying tag with God.
I?m l Fl oaded a little Cheavy, and my E7fuel is runnin? Amlow.
But the Cfolks down in the Amvillage, they Dm7count on Gme, I Cknow.
I Cmake all kinds of C7landings, but Fnone that I make are Cbad.
As long as I can Amwalk away, it?s the D7best I ever Ghad.
And Cwhen she noses C7over, well I Fdo what I can E7do
To Fget her in the Cair again, and Dm7land her Gsafely, Ctoo.
I Ffly those mountain passes, you can E7hear my motor Amwhine.
As D7long as there?s air below me, well, I Gknow I?m doin? fine.
The Fclouds float past my Cwingtips, and the E7world is total Amwhite.
Thank CGod, I?ve got my Amgauges, they?ll Dm7bring me Gin to - Cnight.
I?m Cjust an old bush C7pilot, the Fblue sky is my Chome.
I Cfly the wild Amvastness, from FD7ort Yukon to NGome.
From CJuneau to Point C7Barrow, over Fsnow and land and E7sea,
And Flike the soaring Ceagle, the Dm7wind it Gcalls to Cme.
And Clike the soaring Ameagle, the Dm7wind it Gcalls to Cme.
