Elton John

Songwriter: John Fogerty

[Verse 1]
737 coming out of the sky
Won't you take me down
To Memphis on a midnight ride?

[Chorus]
I want to move, yeah
Playing in a travelling band, yeah
Well, I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

[Verse 2]
Take me to the hotel
Baggage gone, oh well
Come on, come on
Won't you get me to the room?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Listen to the radio
Talking about the last show
Someone got excited
Had to call the state militia

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Here we come again on a Saturday night
With your fussing and your fighting
Won't you get me to the right

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Well, I'm playing in a travelling band
Playing in a travelling band[x2]

[Chorus]
Well, I'm playing in a travelling band
Well, I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band
