Biography:
John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song.

Steam Powered Aereo Plane by John Hartford (key of G)
[break]
G Am
Well I dreamt I went away on a steam powered aeroplane.
C G
I went and stayed and I damn near didn't come back again.
G Am
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aeroplane,
C G
Oh the wheels went around, up and down, and inside and then back again.
Am Bm
Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by,
Am G
Can't tell if it sunshine or it's rain.
Am G
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City,
Am Am/B C C/G D
On a genuine old-fashioned authentic steam powered aero plane.
[break]
G Am
Well I'd like to be a pi-lot on a steam powered aeroplane.
C G
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again.
G Am
Well, I'd wear a blue hat, yeah, that says Steam Powered Aeroplane
C G
With letters that go all around the rim and then back again.
Am Bm
Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by,
Am G
Can't tell if it sunshine or it's rain.
Am G
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City,
Am Am/B C C/G D
On a genuine old-fashioned authentic steam powered aero plane.
