Verse 1 
                     G 
In the early morning rain 
       F            C 
With a dollar in my hand 
                     Dm 
With an aching in my heart 
       F               C 
And my pockets full of sand 
                     Dm 
I'm a long ways from home 
      F                 C 
And I miss my loved one so 
                     G 
In the early morning rain 
     F           C    G    F C 
With no place to go 
Verse 2 
                     G 
Out on runway number nine 
      F        C 
Big 707 set to go 
                          Dm 
And I'm stuck here in the grass 
          F         C 
Where the cold wind blows 
                      Dm 
Now the liquor tasted good 
        F              C 
And the women all were fast 
                        G 
Well, there she goes my friend 
      F               C      G    F C 
She's rolling down at last

                        G 
Hear the mighty engines roar 
        F              C 
See the silver bird on high 
                        Dm 
She's away and westward bound 
     F                   C 
Far above the clouds she flies 
                             Dm 
Where the morning rain don't fall 
        F          C 
And the sun always shines 
                         G 
She'll be flying over my home

In about three hours time

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