E
[Verse 1]
E B
In the early morning rain
A E
With a dollar in my hand
F#m
And an aching in my heart
A E
And my pockets full of sand
F#m
I'm a long ways from home
A E
And I missed my loved one so
B
In the early morning rain
A E
With no place to go
[Verse 2]
B
Out on runway number nine
A E
Big 707 set to go
F#m
But I?m stuck here in the ground
A E
Where the cold wind blows
F#m
Now the liquor tasted good
A E
And the women all were fast
B
Ahh there she goes my friend
A E
Now she's rolling down at last
[Verse 3]
B
Hear the mighty engines roar
A E
See the silver bird on high
F#m
She's away and westward bound
A E
Far above the clouds she flies
F#m
Where the morning rain don't fall
A E
And the sun always shines
B
She'll be flying over my home
A E
In about three hours time
[Verse 4]
B
This old airport's got me down
A E
It's no earthly good to me
F#m
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
A E
Cold and drunk as I can be
F#m
You can't jump a jet plane
A E
Like you can a freight train
B
So I best be on my way
A E
In the early morning rain
[Outro]
F#m
You can't jump a jet plane
A E
Like you can a freight train
B
So I best be on my wa-a-a-y-y-y
A E
In the early morning rain
E
