Gordon Lightfoot – Early Morning Rain (Guitar)

D                    A *
In the early morning rain

G                    D *
 With a dollar in my hand

                     Em
With an aching in my heart

G                       D
 And my pockets full of sand

                    Em**
I'm a long way from home

G***                     D
 and I miss my loved one so

                     A
In the early morning rain

G                 D
 With no place to go

D                        A
Out on the runway number nine

G               D
 Big 707 set to go

                          Em
And I'm stuck here in the grass

G                      D
 With a pain that ever grows

                      Em
Now the liquor tasted good

G                       D
 And the women all were fast

                       A
Well there she goes my friend

G                          D   G  A  G  D  G  D
 She'll be rolling down at last

D                       A
Hear the mighty engines roar

G                       D
 See the silver wing on high

                        Em
She's away and westward bound

G                            D
 Far above the clouds she'll fly

                             Em
Where the morning rain don't fall

G                   D
 And the sun always shines

                         A
She'll be flying o'er my home

G                     D   G  A  G  D  G  D
 In about three hours time

D                         A
This old airport's got me down

G                        D
 It's no earthly good to me

                          Em
And I'm stuck here on the ground

G                           D
 As cold and drunk as I can be

                     Em
You can't jump a jet plane

G                       D
 Like you can a freight train

                   A
So I best be on my way

G                     D
 In the early morning rain

D                    Em
You can't jump a jet plane

G                       D
 Like you can a freight train

                   A
So I best be on my way

G                     D   G  A  G  D  G  D
 In the early morning rain
