Am                     G
Ain't it foggy outside?
Fmaj7                  Em         G
All the planes have been  grounded,
Am                    G
Ain't the fire inside?
Fmaj7                Em     G
Let's all go stand around it.

Sandman,
Am                        G
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
      D                 Am
Of a hurricane that's abandoned.

Ain't the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?

Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

Chorus:
Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandone
