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:

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
