  I love my aeroplane 'cuz she got style

                     A A* C B G F

  I'm a treetop flyer

  

  

  I fly any cargo that you can pay to run

  The bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done

  You've got to fly down into the canyons

  You don't ever see the sun

  There's no such thing as an easy run

  Oh, treetop flyer

  

  I fly low, I'm in high demand

  I go 15 feet over the Rio Grande

  I blow the mesquite right up off of the sand

  Seldom seen, especially when I land

  I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor

  

  (instr. break -- this is essentially a run on 3rd. frets of all strings)

  

  The people they ask me, ``Where'd you learn to fly that way?"

  It's over in Vietnam chasin' MBAs

  The government taught me, and they taught me right

  Stay down under the tree line

  And you might be alright

  Treetop flyer

  

  So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast

  I promised my woman, this is gonna be my last

  I get the ship down, I tie her fast

  And then somebody walks up and says

  ``Hey son, wanna make some fast cash?"

  Treetop flyer

  

  Well there's things I am and there's things I'm not

  I am a smuggler and I could get shot

  I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna get caught

  You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane

  I'm just too hot

  I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor
