G C But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn', G C The Taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn. G C D7 Already I'm so lonesome I could die. G C So kiss me and smile for me, G C Tell me that you'll wait for me, G Am D7 Hold me like you never let me go. G C 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, G C D7 Don't know when I'll be back again. G C D7 Oh babe, I hate to go. There's so many times I've let you down, So many times I've played around, I tell you now they don't mean a thing. Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you, Ev'ry song I sing I sing for you. When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring. So kiss me ... Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you, Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way. Dream about the days to come, When I won't have to leave alone, About the times I won't have to say.It sounds really good if you use this strum pattern: down, down, up, up, down, up for each chord. You play two bars fro every E chord. Spread the chords out evenly.
