C                     G           F            C   
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
C                     Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
C                   Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
C                     G        F            C   
In the early morning rain with no place to go


C                     G                F            C Csus4  C  
Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
C                          Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that evergrows
C                      Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
C                          G                 F           C   
Well now there she goes my friend, she's a-rolling down at last

G F C Csus4 C

C                        G                F            C Csus4  C  
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high
C                     Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
C                     Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
C                        G         F             C Csus4  C  
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time

Dm F C Csus4 C

C                        G                F            C Csus4  C  
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
C                        Dm       F                       C  Csus4  C
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
C                     Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
C                     G         F             C Csus4  C  
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
C                     Dm   F                       C  Csus4  C
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
C                     G         F             C Csus4  C  
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
