[Intro]
| Em | Dm G7 | C Csus4 |
[Verse 1]
C Em
In the early mornin' rain
Dm G7 C
With a dollar in my hand
C Dm
And an aching in my heart
G7 C
And my pockets full of sand
C Dm
I'm a long ways from home
G7 C
And I missed my loved one so
C Em
In the early mornin' rain
Dm G7 C
With no place to go
[Verse 2]
C Em
Out on runway number nine
Dm G7 C
Big 707 set to go
C Dm
Well I'm out here on the grass
G7 C
Where the pavement never grows (goes?)
C Dm
Where the liquor tasted good
G7 C
And the women all were fast
C Em
There she goes my friend
Dm G7 C
She's rolling out at last
[Verse 3]
C Em
Hear the mighty engines roar
Dm G7 C
See the silver wing on high
C Dm
She's away and westward bound
G7 C
For above the clouds she flies
C Dm
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
G7 C
And the sun always shines
C Em
She'll be flying o'er my home
Dm G7 C
In about three hours time
[Verse 4]
C Em
This ol' airport's got me down
Dm G7 C
It's no earthly good to me
C Dm
'Cause I'm out here on the ground
G7 C
Cold and drunk as I might be
C Dm
Can't jump a jet plane
G7 C
Like you can a freight train
C Em
So I best be on my way
Dm G7 C
In the early morning rain
[Coda]
C Dm
So I best be on my way
G7 C
In the early morning rain
C Dm
So I best be on my way
G7 C C
In the early morning rain
