C                     Em
 In the early mornin' rain

Dm      G7           C
 With a dollar in my hand

C                    Dm
 And an aching in my heart

G7                      C
 And my pockets full of sand

C                     Dm
 I'm a long ways from home

G7                         C
 And I missed my loved one so

C                     Em
 In the early mornin' rain

Dm     G7          C
  With no place to go
[Verse 2]
C                     Em
 Out on runway number nine

Dm     G7       C
 Big 707 set to go

C                         Dm
 Well I'm out here on the grass

G7                        C
 Where the pavement never grows

C                        Dm
 Where the liquor tasted good

G7                      C
 And the women all were fast

C                   Em
  There she goes my friend

Dm      G7             C
  She's rolling out at last
[Verse 3]
C                        Em
 Hear the mighty engines roar

Dm       G7             C
 See the silver wing on high

C                        Dm
 She's away and westward bound

G7                        C
 For above the clouds she flies

C                             Dm
 Where the mornin' rain don't fall

G7                  C
 And the sun always shines

C                         Em
 She'll be flying o'er my home

Dm    G7               C
  In about three hours time
[Verse 4]
C                          Em
 This ol' airport's got me down

Dm       G7              C
 It's no earthly good to me

C                             Dm
 'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground

G7                         C
 Cold and drunk as I might be

C                 Dm
 Can't jump a jet plane

G7                      C
 Like you can a freight train

C                   Em
 So I best be on my way

Dm      G7            C
 In the early morning rain
[Coda]
C                   Dm
 So I best be on my way

G7                    C
 In the early morning rain

C                   Dm
 So I best be on my way

G7                    C        C
 In the early morning rain
