Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse]
C/GI flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'HFare".
While oGn the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,
"My God, they're throwing guitars out thC/Gere"
The C/Gband and I exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these wFould be
So bGefore I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towardC/Gs me
[Chorus]
FUnited... (United...)
You broke my Taylor GC/Guitar
FUnited... (United...)
Some big help you C/Gare
You broke it, you should fGix it
You're liable, just adFmit it
I should've flown with sGomeone else
Or goFne bC/Gy caGr
'Cause UFnited Dmbreaks guitCars.
[Verse]
WheC/Gn we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected
My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at FO'Hare
So begGan a year long saga, of "pass the buck", "don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, 
sir, your claim can go C/Gnowhere".
So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Delhi
Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "Fno".
GI heard all your excuses,
And I've chased your wild gooses
And I say this attitude of yours must C/Ggo
[Chorus]
FUnited... (United...)
You broke my Taylor GC/Guitar
FUnited... (United...)
Some big help you C/Gare
You broke it, you should fGix it
You're liable, just adFmit it
I should've flown with sGomeone else
Or goFne bC/Gy caGr
'Cause UFnited Dmbreaks guitCars.
[Bridge]
FWell, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,
'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,
But that won't likely happen,
AFnd if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggGage
'Cause you'd just go and brFeak it,
Into a thousand piGeces,
Just like you broke my heFart
When UnGited breaks guiC/Gtars
[Chorus]
FUnited... (United...)
You broke my Taylor GC/Guitar
FUnited... (United...)
Some big help you C/Gare
You broke it, you should fGix it
You're liable, just adFmit it
I should've flown with sGomeone else
Or goFne bC/Gy caGr
'Cause UFnited Dmbreaks guitCars.
Yeah, UnFited bDmreaks guitaCrs.
Yeah, UnFited bDmreaks guitaCrs.

C/G

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse]

C/G

I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska

The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare".

While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,

C/G

"My God, they're throwing guitars out there"

C/G

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror

At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these would be

So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees

C/G

Who showed complete indifference towards me

[Chorus]

United... (United...)

C/G

You broke my Taylor Guitar

United... (United...)

C/G

Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it

You're liable, just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

F C/G G

Or gone by car

F Dm C

'Cause United breaks guitars.

[Verse]

C/G

When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected

My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare

So began a year long saga, of "pass the buck", "don't ask me", and "I'm sorry,

C/G

sir, your claim can go nowhere".

So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Delhi

Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no".

I heard all your excuses,

And I've chased your wild gooses

C/G

And I say this attitude of yours must go

[Chorus]

United... (United...)

C/G

You broke my Taylor Guitar

United... (United...)

C/G

Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it

You're liable, just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

F C/G G

Or gone by car

F Dm C

'Cause United breaks guitars.

[Bridge]

Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,

'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,

But that won't likely happen,

F G

And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage

'Cause you'd just go and break it,

Into a thousand pieces,

Just like you broke my heart

G C/G

When United breaks guitars

[Chorus]

United... (United...)

C/G

You broke my Taylor Guitar

United... (United...)

C/G

Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it

You're liable, just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

F C/G G

Or gone by car

F Dm C

'Cause United breaks guitars.

F Dm C

Yeah, United breaks guitars.

F Dm C

Yeah, United breaks guitars.
