Intro: /D..../..../Em..../..../ /A..../...G./D..../...G./

D (2 fr.)                  A(3)
In the early morning rain
         G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
With a dollar in my hand
                     Em(4)
With an achin' in my heart
                     D (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
And my pockets full of sand
                    Em(2)
I'm a long way from home
A (2 fr.)                      D (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
And I miss my loved ones so
                     A(4)
In the early morning rain
     G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
With no place to go


D (2 fr.)                  A(3)
Out on runway number nine
  G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
Big seven-o-seven set to go
                        Em(4)
And I'm stuck here in the grass
                     D (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
Where the cold wind blows
                    Em(2)
Now the liquor tasted good
A (2 fr.)                      D (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
And the women all were fast
                     A(4)
Well there she goes my friend
   G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
She'll be rollin' down at last


D (2 fr.)                  A(3)
Hear the mighty engines roar
  G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
See the silver wing on high
                        Em(4)
She's away and westward bound
                     D (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
Far above the clouds she'll fly
                    Em(2)
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
A (2 fr.)                   D (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
And the sun always shines
                     A(4)
She'll be flyin' o'er my home
   G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
In about three hours time

/D..../..../Em..../..../ /A..../...G./D


D (2 fr.)                  A(3)
This old airport's got me down
  G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
It's no earthly good to me
                          Em(4)
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
                     D (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
As cold and drunk as I can be
                    Em(2)
You can't jump a jet plane
A (2 fr.)                   D (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
Like you can a freight train
                     A(4)
So I'd best be on my way
   G(1)         D (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
In the early morning rain

                   Em(2)
You can't jump a jet plane
A (2 fr.)                   D (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
Like you can a freight train
                     A(4)
So I'd best be on my way
   G(1)         /D - G - /A - G - / D - G - / D (hold) 
In the early morning rain


That's all folks!
