[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]

[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
