Early Mornin' Rain Recorded by Elvis Presley Written by Gordon Lightfoot [Intro] | Em | Dm G7 | C Csus4 | [Verse]
C                     Em  Dm      G7           C
 In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand

C                    Dm   G7                      C
 And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand

C                     Dm  G7                         C
 I'm a long ways from home and I missed my loved one so

C                     Em  Dm    G7          C
 In the early morning rain with no place to go
[Verse]
C                     Em  Dm     G7       C
 Out on runway number nine big 707 set to go

C                         Dm   G7                       C
 Well I'm out here on the grass where the pavement never grows

C                        Dm  G7                      C
 Where the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast

C                  Em    Dm     G7             C
 There she goes my friend she's rolling out at last
[Verse]
C                        Em  Dm       G7             C
 Hear the mighty engines roar see the silver bird on high

C                        Dm   G7                        C
 She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she flies

C                             Dm  G7                  C
 Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines

C                         Em  Dm   G7               C
 She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time
[Verse]
C                         Em  Dm       G7              C
 This old airports got me down it's no earthly good to me

C                            Dm    G7                         C
 Cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I might be

C                 Dm   G7                      C
 Can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train

C                   Em Dm      G7            C
 So I best be on my way in the early morning rain
[Outro]
C                   Dm G7                    C
 So I best be on my way in the early morning rain

C                   Dm G7                    C     C
 So I best be on my way in the early morning rain
