🎶 United Breaks Guitars

I [D]flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'[G]Hare"
While [A]on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me
"My God, they're throwing guitars out [D]there"

The [D]band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these would [G]be
So be[A]fore I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towards [D]me

U[G]nited...(United...) You broke my Taylor Gui[D]tar
U[G]nited... (United...) Some big help you [D]are
You broke it, you should [A]fix it. You're liable, just admit [G]it
I should've flown with [A]someone else. Or [G]gone by [D]car
'Cause U[A]nited breaks gui[D]tars

When we [D]landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected
My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'[G]Hare
So b[A]egan a year long saga, of "Pass the buck", "Don't ask me"
And "I'm sorry, sir, your claim can go [D]no where"

So to [D]all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli
Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "[G]no"
I [A]heard all your excuses and I've chased your wild gooses
And this attitude of yours, I say, must [D]go

U[G]nited...(United...) You broke my Taylor Gui[D]tar
U[G]nited... (United...) Some big help you [D]are
You broke it, you should [A]fix it. You're liable, just admit [G]it
I should've flown with [A]someone else. Or [G]gone by [D]car
'Cause U[A]nited breaks gui[D]tars

Well, I [G]won't say that I'll never fly with you again
'Cause, maybe, to [G]save the world, I probably would
But that won't likely happen and [Em]if it did, I wouldn't bring my [A]luggage
'Cause you'd just go and [G]break it into a thousand [A]pieces
Just like you broke my [D]heart when U[A]nited breaks gui[D]tars

U[G]nited...(United...) You broke my Taylor Gui[D]tar
U[G]nited... (United...) Some big help you [D]are
You broke it, you should [A]fix it. You're liable, just admit [G]it
I should've flown with [A]someone else. Or [G]gone by [D]car
'Cause U[A]nited breaks gui[D]tars
