Verse 1:
E MajorE G# minorG#m
In the early morning rain
A augmentedA E MajorE
With a dollar in my hand
A augmentedA
With an aching in my heart
E MajorE
And my pockets full of sand
A augmentedA
I'm a long ways from home
E MajorE
And I miss my darling so
G# minorG#m
In the early morning rain
B7sus2 E MajorE
With no place to go
Verse 2:
G# minorG#m
Out on runway number nine
A augmentedA E MajorE
Big 707 set to go
A augmentedA
But I'm stuck here on the ground
E MajorE
Where the cold winds blow
A augmentedA
Well the liquor tasted good
E MajorE
And the women all were fast
G# minorG#m
There she goes my friend
B7sus2 E MajorE
Oh she's rolling now at last
Verse 3:
G# minorG#m
Here the mighty engines roar
A augmentedA E MajorE
See the silver wing on high
A augmentedA
She's away and westward bound
E MajorE
High above the clouds she'll fly
A augmentedA
Where the morning rain don't fall
E MajorE
And the sun always shines
G# minorG#m
She'll be flying over my home
B7sus2 E MajorE
In about three hours time

This old airport's got me down

It's no earthly good to me
A augmentedA
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
E MajorE
Cold and drunk as I might be

You can't jump a jet plane
E MajorE
Like you can a freight train

So I'd best be on my way

In the early morning rain
