C/G 
I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska, 
                                                                                                            F 
The plane departed Halifax, connecting in Chicago's O'Hare 
             G 
While on the ground the passenger said from the seat behind me, 
                                                                     C/G 
'My god they're throwing guitars out there!' 

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror, 
                                                                                                                                           F 
at the action on the tarmac and knowing whose projectiles these would be... 
            G 
so before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees,  
                                                                                       C/G 
who showed complete indifference towards me. 

<Chorus as follows>

C/G    F                                                                           C/G 
U    -   nited United... You broke my Taylor gui -  tar, 
C/G    F                                                              C/G 
U    -   nited United ... some big help you are 
                                              G 
You broke it you should fix it 
                                       F 
You're liable just admit it 
                                              G                                    F     C/G    G 
I should have flown with someone else, or gone   by     car...  
              F         C/G  G          C/G 
'cause U   -   nited breaks guitars!

C/G 
When we landed in Nebraska I confirmed what I'd suspected, 
                                                                                                                    F 
My Tayor'd been the victum of a vicious act of malious at O'Hare 
            G 
so began a year long saga - of pass the buck - don't ask me 
                                                                         C/G 
and 'I'm sorry sir your claim can go nowhere"... 

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

<Chorus> 

          F 
Well I won't say that I'll never fly with you again cause maybe 
                                                                                                       
to save the world I probubly would, but that won't likely happen, 
        Dm                                           G 
and if it did I wouldn't bring my luggage, 
                                                F                                                G 
'cause you'd just go and break it  -  into a thousand peices, 
                                           F 
just like you broke my heart... 
                     C/G G             C/G 
when U  -  nited breaks guitars... 

<Chorus>
