Verse 1:

G                    D
In the early morning rain

        C            G
With a dollar in my hand

                      D
With an aching in my heart

        C               G
And my pockets full of sand

                      D
I'm a long ways from home

       C                  G
And I missed my loved one so

                      D
In the early morning rain

     C           G
With no place to go

Instrumental:
D  G    D  G

Verse 2:

                      D
Out on runway number nine

      C        G
Big 707 set to go

                           D
But I?m stuck here in the grass

           C         G
Where the cold wind blows

                       D
Now the liquor tasted good

        C               G
And the women all were fast

                         D
Well there she goes my friend

       C                G
She's rolling down at last

Verse 3:

                         D
Hear the mighty engines roar

         C              G
See the silver bird on high

                         D
She's away and westward bound

      C                   G
Far above the clouds she flies

                             D
Where the morning rain don't fall

         C          G
And the sun always shines

                          D
She'll be flying over my home

     C                G
In about three hours time

Instrumental:
D  G     D  G    Am7 D  G    D  G

Verse 4:

                           D
This old airport?s got me down

         C              G
It's no earthly good to me

                              D
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground

             C             G
As cold and drunk as I can be

                      D
You can't jump a jet plane

         C              G
Like you can a freight train

                    D
So I best be on my way

        C             G
In the early morning rain

                      D
Yeah I best be on my way

        C             G
In the early morning rain
