Lyrics
I’ve flown a (Ebdim7)round the world in a (Dm7)plane;
I’ve set tled (A)rev o lu tions in (D7)Spain;
the North Pole (Ebdim)I have chart ed, but (G7)can’t get start ed with (C)you.
A round a (Ebdim)golf course I’m un der (Dm7)par,
and all the (A)mov ies want me to star.
I’ve got a (Ebdim)house, a show place, but (G7)I got no place with (C)you.
You’re so su (Em7)preme,
