D                    A
In the early morning rain
G                    D
 With a dollar in my hand
                     Em
With an aching in my heart
G                       D
 And my pockets full of sand
                     Em
I'm a long ways from home
G                          D
 And I missed my loved one so
                     A
In the early morning rain
G                 D    
 With no place to go

D                    A
Out on runway number nine
G               D
 Big 707 set to go
                          Em
But I'm stuck here in the grass
G                    D
 Where the cold wind blows
                      Em
Now the liquor tasted good
G                       D
 And the women all were fast
                       A
Well there she goes my friend
G                      D   G A G D G D
 She's rolling down at last

D                       A
Hear the mighty engines roar
G                       D
 See the silver bird on high
                        Em
She's away and westward bound
G                         D
 Far above the clouds she flies
                             Em
Where the morning rain don't fall
G                   D
 And the sun always shines
                         A
She'll be flying over my home
G                     D   G A G D G D
 In about three hours time

D                         A
This old airport's got me down
G                        D
 It's no earthly good to me
                             Em
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
G                           D
 As cold and drunk as I can be
                     Em
You can't jump a jet plane
G                       D
 Like you can a freight train
                   A
So I best be on my way
G                     D
 In the early morning rain

D                    Em
You can't jump a jet plane
G                       D
 Like you can a freight train
                   A
So I best be on my way
G                     D
 In the early morning rain
