Early Mornin Rain

F  Gm7    Bb   F

[Verse]
                     Am     Gm
In the early morning rain
                      F
Without a dollar in my hand
                     Gm      Bb
With an aching in my heart
                       F
And my pockets full of sand
               Gm          Bb
I'm a long way from home
                      F
And I miss my darling so
                     Am    Bb
In the early morning rain
                F
With no place to go

[Verse]
                     Am     Gm
Out on runway number nine
                      F
Seven-oh-seven set to go
                          Gm      Bb
But I'm stuck here on the ground
                    F
Where the cold wind blows
                       Gm      Bb
Where the liquor tasted good
                       F
And the women all were fast
                  Am       Bb
There she goes my friend
                      F
She's rolling down at last

[Verse]
                        Am     Gm
Hear the mighty engines roar
                       F
See the silver bird on high
                        Gm      Bb
She's away and westward bound
                             F
High above the clouds she'll fly
                       Gm          Bb
Where the morning rain don't fall
                   F
And the sun always shines
                         Am    Bb
She'll be flying over my home
                     F
In about three hours time

[Instrumental]
Am  Gm7   F
Am  Gm7   F

[Verse]
                          Am     Gm
This old airport's got me down
                         F
Ain't no earthly good to me
                             Gm      Bb
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
                        F
Cold and drunk as I can be
                     Gm     Bb
You can't jump a jet plane
                       F
Like you can a freight train
                    Am    Bb
So I'd best be on my way
                     F
In the early morning rain
                     Gm     Bb
You can't jump a jet plane
                       F
Like you can a freight train
                    Am    Bb
So I'd best be on my way
                     F
In the early morning rain
