Really pretty easy, but sounds quite nice. Just play bar chords
and use that ska kind of rhythm that the Milkmen use fairly often:
play on the off beats... ie. if you count 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &  etc.,
play the chord on an upstroke on each of the & beats. That was hard
to explain in words :P, just listen and you'll get it.


Chords:
------

I hope you know all these chords (if not, learn them!) but I've put
them here, because it's important you play the right bar chords.

   D  x57775
   A  577655
  Bm  x24432 or 799777
 F#m  244222
   G  355433
  Em  x79987
F#m2  x-9-11-11-10-9
  G2  x-10-12-12-12-10
  A2  x-12-14-14-14-12

The different versions of F#m, G and A are used during the bridge
part ("my alarm is set").


Lyrics:
------

Verse:
D     A            Bm
  I'm getting on a plane
             F#m
Early in the morning
D     A            Bm
  I'm getting on a plane
              F#m
Let this be a warning
G                Bm
  Meet me at the airport
G           D A
  Flight 11-41 'cause

Chorus:
D   A       Bm
I'm flying away
G      A     D     A
To the one I love

verse:
I'll be at your place
Just in time for dinner
I can't wait to see your face
It's been a lonely winter
Absence makes the heart grow fond
But I can't take it any longer 'cause

chorus:
I'm flying away
To the one I love

Bridge:
D
My alarm is set for 5 o'clock
        Em              D
I can't wait to hear it ring
D
My bags are packed, completely full
       Em               D
I have lots of stuff to bring
Em
  Arms to hold you
F#m2
  Lips to kiss you
G2
  A heart to love you
A2
  Oh I miss you

chorus:
I'm flying away, to the one I love

instrumental: (with verse chords)

chorus:
I'm flying away, to the one I love (x2)
D   A       Bm
I'm flying away
G      A     D   (don't go back to the A this time)
To the one I love
G      A     D
To the one I love

End on D.
