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

D5 (2 fr.)                  A(3)
In the early morning rain
         G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
With a dollar in my hand
                     Em(4)
With an achin' in my heart
                     D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
And my pockets full of sand
                    Em(2)
I'm a long way from home
A5 (2 fr.)                      D5 (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
And I miss my loved ones so
                     A(4)
In the early morning rain
     G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
With no place to go


D5 (2 fr.)                  A(3)
Out on runway number nine
  G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
Big seven-o-seven set to go
                        Em(4)
And I'm stuck here in the grass
                     D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
Where the cold wind blows
                    Em(2)
Now the liquor tasted good
A5 (2 fr.)                      D5 (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
And the women all were fast
                     A(4)
Well there she goes my friend
   G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
She'll be rollin' down at last


D5 (2 fr.)                  A(3)
Hear the mighty engines roar
  G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
See the silver wing on high
                        Em(4)
She's away and westward bound
                     D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
Far above the clouds she'll fly
                    Em(2)
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
A5 (2 fr.)                   D5 (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
And the sun always shines
                     A(4)
She'll be flyin' o'er my home
   G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
In about three hours time

/D..../..../Em..../..../ /A..../...G./D5


D5 (2 fr.)                  A(3)
This old airport's got me down
  G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
It's no earthly good to me
                          Em(4)
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
                     D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1) D(1)
As cold and drunk as I can be
                    Em(2)
You can't jump a jet plane
A5 (2 fr.)                   D5 (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
Like you can a freight train
                     A(4)
So I'd best be on my way
   G(1)         D5 (2 fr.)  D9(1)  D(1)
In the early morning rain

                   Em(2)
You can't jump a jet plane
A5 (2 fr.)                   D5 (2 fr.) D9(1) D(1)
Like you can a freight train
                     A(4)
So I'd best be on my way
   G(1)         /D5 - G5 - /A5 - G5 - / D5 - G5 - / D5 (hold) 
In the early morning rain


That's all folks!
