Intro: F  Bb C  Bb F  Bb F

Verse 1:
F                    C 
In the early morning rain
Bb                   F 
 With a dollar in my hand
                     Gm
With an aching in my heart
Bb                      F
 And my pockets full of sand
                    Gm 
I'm a long way from home
Bb                      F
 and I miss my loved one so
                     C
In the early morning rain
Bb                F
 With no place to go

Verse 2:
F                        C
Out on the runway number nine
Bb              F
 Big 707 set to go
                          Gm
And I'm stuck here in the grass
Bb                     F
 With a pain that ever grows
                      Gm
Now the liquor tasted good
Bb                      F
 And the women all were fast
                       C
Well there she goes my friend
Bb                         F   Bb C  Bb F  Bb F
 She'll be rolling down at last

Verse 3:
F                       C
Hear the mighty engines roar
Bb                      F
 See the silver wing on high
                        Gm
She's away and westward bound
Bb                           F
 Far above the clouds she'll fly
                             Gm
Where the morning rain don't fall
Bb                  F
 And the sun always shines
                         C
She'll be flying o'er my home
Bb                    F   Bb C  Bb F  Bb F
 In about three hours time

Verse 4:
F                         C
This old airport's got me down
Bb                       F
 It's no earthly good to me
                          Gm
And I'm stuck here on the ground
Bb                          F
 As cold and drunk as I can be
                     Gm
You can't jump a jet plane
Bb                      F
 Like you can a freight train
                   C
So I best be on my way
Bb                    F
 In the early morning rain

Outro:
F                    Gm
You can't jump a jet plane
Bb                      F
 Like you can a freight train
                   C
So I best be on my way
Bb                    F   Bb C  Bb F  Bb F
 In the early morning rain
