[Verse]
F#
Bill Hosie built a plane
B
D# survivor from the Schneider Trophy Race
F#
Seemed like a nice old guy
B
With his baseball cap and his sun-slit eyes
F#
He took the airframe, motor, and wings
C#/F C# D#m F# B
And restored all the fabric, the floats and the straps and things
F# G#m7
And the shark on banana skis
C#7 F# B F# B
Was heard to roar once more over Cornwall seas
[Verse]
F#
In the 'Twenty-Seven Schneider Race
B
It was a Supermarine that took first place
F#
The year Bill Hosie was born
B
When there were still tall ships sailin' round Cape Horn
F#
But the S.5 Supermarine
C#/F C# D#m F# B
Was the fastest Seaplane the world had ever seen
F# G#m7
Nearly three hundred miles-an-hour
C#7 F# B F# B
With a Napier inline engine to give her power
[Verse]
F#
And her daughters flew in World War Two
B
Their pilots were known as the first of the few
F#
When the Battle of Britain raged
B
The Spitfire blazed across a history page
F#
But Bill Hosie built a dream
C#/F C# D#m F# B
To haunt the skies with the ghost of a Supermarine
F# G#m7
And she rose on the steppe again
C#7 F# B F# B
With the spirit of a Schneider Trophy racing plane
[Verse]
F#
She took to the cool spring air
B
With Bill Hosie sitting in the pilot's chair
F#
She banked along the Cornwall shore
B
Her tail broke away and she flew no more
F#
She fell from her flight of grace
C#/F C# D#m F# B
The year they revived the Schneider Trophy race
F# G#m7
And the Supermarine S.5
C#7 F#
Was the plane that made Bill Hosie feel alive
