Verse 1:
E                     G#m
 In the early morning rain
A                    E
 With a dollar in my hand
                      A
 With an aching in my heart
                        E
 And my pockets full of sand
                      A
 I'm a long ways from home
                     E
And I miss my darling so
                     G#m
In the early morning rain
B7sus2               E
With no place to go

Verse 2:
                     G#m
Out on runway number nine
A               E
 Big 707 set to go
                          A
But I'm stuck here on the ground
                     E
Where the cold winds blow
                       A
Well the liquor tasted good
               E
And the women all were fast
                  G#m
There she goes my friend
B7sus2                  E
Oh she's rolling now at last

Verse 3:
                        G#m
Here the mighty engines roar
A                      E
See the silver wing on high
                        A
She's away and westward bound
                             E
High above the clouds she'll fly
                             A
Where the morning rain don't fall
                   E
And the sun always shines
                         G#m
She'll be flying over my home
B7sus2               E
In about three hours time

Bass Solo:

Verse 4:
                          G#m
This old airport's got me down
A                       E
It's no earthly good to me
                            A
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
                          E
Cold and drunk as I might be
                     A
You can't jump a jet plane
                       E
Like you can a freight train
                     G#m
So I'd best be on my way
B7sus2              E
In the early morning rain

Outro:
                     A
You can't jump a jet plane
                       E
Like you can a freight train
                     G#m
So I'd best be on my way
B7sus2               E             E6add9
In the early morning rain
