Amelia Earhart's Last Flight
             Red River Dave McEnery 
D                               G
A ship out on the ocean, just a speck against the sky,
A                              D
Amelia Earhart flying that sad day;
                                         G
With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the second of July
A                                D
Her plane fell in the ocean, far away.

Chorus:
G                              D 
There's a beautiful, beautiful field
                           A
Far away in a land that is fair.
      D                       G
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart
A                           D
Farewell, first lady of the air.
                                
D                        G
She radioed position and said that all was well,
A                                      D
Although the fuel within the tanks was low.
                                      G
But they'd land on Howland Island and refuel her monoplane,
A                                          D
Then on their trip around the world they'd go.

Chorus
                            
D                             G
Well, a half an hour later an SOS was heard,
    A                                    D
The signal weak, but still her voice was brave.
                                 G
Oh, in shark-infested waters her plane went down that night
A                               D
In the blue Pacific to a watery grave.

Chorus

D                                         G
Well, now you have heard my story of that awful tragedy,
A                                    D
We pray that she might fly home safe again.
                                           G
Oh, in years to come though others blaze a trail across the sea,
A                                 D
We'll ne'er forget Amelia and her plane. 

Chorus
