[Verse 1]
Am
Ain't it foggy outside
F                         Em
All the planes have been grounded
Am
Ain't the fire inside
F                         Em
Let's all go stand around it
[Pre-chorus]
Am
Funny, I've been there
D
and you've been here
G                            Am
and we ain't had no time to drink that beer
[Chorus]
       Am                        G
'cause I understand you've been runnin' from the man
       D                      Am
that goes by the name of the sandman
Am                         G                    D                Am
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
[Verse 2]
Am
Ain't the years gone by fast
F                   Em
I suppose you have missed them
Am
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
F                    Em
Did you hear of my enlistment?
[Pre-chorus]
Am
Funny, I've been there
D
and you've been here
G                            Am
and we ain't had no time to drink that beer
[Chorus]
       Am                        G
'cause I understand you've been runnin' from the man
       D                      Am
that goes by the name of the sandman
Am                         G                    D                Am
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
Am                        G
I understand you've been runnin' from the man
       D                      Am
that goes by the name of the sandman
Am                         G                    D                Am
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
Am                        G
I understand you've been runnin' from the man
       D                      Am
that goes by the name of the sandman
Am                         G                    D                Am
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
Am                        G
I understand you've been runnin' from the man
       D                      Am
that goes by the name of the sandman
Am                         G                    D                Am
