DA In the early morning rain GD With a dollar in my hand Em With an aching in my heart GD And my pockets full of sand Em I'm a long ways from home GD And I missed my loved one so A In the early morning rain GD With no place to go
A Out on runway number nine GD Big 707 set to go Em But I?m stuck here in the grass GD Where the cold wind blows Em Now the liquor tasted good GD And the women all were fast A Well there she goes my friend GDGAGDGD She's rolling down at last
A Hear the mighty engines roar GD See the silver bird on high Em She's away and westward bound GD Far above the clouds she flies Em Where the morning rain don't fall GD And the sun always shines A She'll be flying over my home GDGAGDGD In about three hours time
A This old airport?s got me down GD It's no earthly good to me Em 'Cause I?m stuck here on the ground GD As cold and drunk as I can be Em You can't jump a jet plane GD Like you can a freight train A So I best be on my way GD In the early morning rain
Em You can't jump a jet plane GD Like you can a freight train A So I best be on my way GD In the early morning rain
