Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

[Verse 1]
D
With your photographs of Kitty Hawk
A
And the biplanes on your wall
Am
You were always Amy Johnson
G
From the time that you were small
D
No schoolroom kept you grounded
A
While your thoughts could get away
Am
You were taking off in Tiger Moths
G Em Am
Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Are you there?
G Em A D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
On the tarmac with the winter in your hair
G Em A Bm Bm(maj7)
By the empty hangar doors, you stop and stare
D D-5 Em7
Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care
A D Am F G D Am F G
Oh, are you there?
[Verse 2]
D
Oh, you wrapped me up in a leather coat
A
And you took me for a ride
Am
We were drifting with the tail-wind
G
When the runway came in sight
D
The clouds came up to gather us
A
And the cockpit turned to white
Am
When I looked, the sky was empty
G Em Am
I suppose you never saw the landing-lights
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Are you there?
G Em A D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
In your jacket with the grease stain and the tear
G Em A Bm Bm(maj7)
Caught up in the slipstream of the dare
D D-5 Em7
The compass rose will guide you anywhere
A D Am F G D Am F G
Oh, are you there?
{Verse 3]
D A
The sun comes up on Icarus as the night-birds sail away
Am
And lights the maps and diagrams
G
That Leonardo made
D A
You can see Faith, Hope and Charity
Am
As they bank above the fields
G
You can join the flying circus
Em Am
You can touch the morning air against your wheels
{Chorus]
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Are you there?
G Em A D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Do you have a thought for me that you can share?
G Em A Bm Bm(maj7)
Oh I never thought you'd take me unawares
D D-5 Em7
Just call me if you ever need repairs
A D Am F G D Am F G
Oh, are you there?
D
With your photographs of Kitty Hawk
A
And the biplanes on your wall
Am
You were always Amy Johnson
G
From the time that you were small
