Unfriendly Skies Chords & Tabs
C F C
Well I wonder how Susie is doing
F C
At the airport in old Durango
C F C
Does Susie still work for the airlines
F G
I pray one day they let that bitch go
F C
Susie’s a big deal at the airlines

The Durango airport’s pretty small
F C
She checks in and tags
F C
And handles some baggage
C G C F*
You could say that sue does it all
C G C
You could say that bitch sue does it all
I flew into Durango from Denver
Where I ground checked my martin guitar
Susie took it off of that aircraft
threw it on top a luggage car
from the airplane there on the runway
through the window I witnessed it all
my axe hit the tarmac
I swear I heard the crack
That old dreadnaught took a dreadful fall
My guitar took a terrible fall
Chorus:

Em F
So inside I showed Susie the damage
C G
Caused by her negligent misdeed
Em F
She denied that it even happened
C G
Innocent was how Susie did plead
F C
Well I implied that she was a liar
F G
That’s when Susie made up her sick mind
F C
Hell surely don’t have
F C
That bitch susie’s wrath
C G C F*
She was gonna my kick my ass big time
C G C
That bitch would kick my ass big time
Kick it- solo
Kick it again- solo
The next day I went back to the airport
My old six string held together with tape
Susie was on duty that morning
From that cold bitch I could not escape
She said you can’t take your guitar to Texas
Because its in a soft leather case
Either leave it behind
Or a hard case go find
I swear Sue had a smile on her face
That bitch had a smile on her face
Then she showed me a rule in a rulebook
Some bs made up by the faa
I had to leave my guitar in Durango
Have it fed-exed back to LA
I borrowed an axe down in Austin
But I swore I would right susie’s wrong
Lawyers aint cheap
Im no litigious creep
So instead I wrote Susie a song
I wrote that bitch Susie a song
Chorus:
Now I think of myself as a nice guy
Usually I’m polite, never rude
Course the bitch’s name isn’t Susie
Cause I don’t want to get my ass sued
But I wonder how Angela’s doing
That’s something I’d sure like to know
Is Angie still there
With her pony tailed hair
At the airport in old Durango
