Treetop flyer Well there's things I am and there's things I'm not I am a smuggler and I could get shot I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna get caught You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane I'm just too hot I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor (instrumental break) ]]> Easy Songs Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stephen-stills-treetop-flyer/#post-4073
