Early Morning Rain - by Gordon Lightfoot/ cover version - Peter Paul and Mary This version is like the Gordon Lightfoot version mixed with the Peter, Paul, and Mary version. This sounds good picking or strumming. The progression in the key of D is also very sweet. Intro: C Em Dm G7 C Cadd9 C

C                     Em   Dm     G7           C     Cadd9 C
In the early morning rain, with a dollar in my hand

         Cadd9       Dm     G7                        C      Cadd9 C
With an aching in my heart,    and a pocket full of sand

      Cadd9          Dm       G7                          C    Cadd9 C
I'm a long ways from home,      and I miss  my loved one so

        Cadd9        Em    Dm   G7           C        Cadd9 C
In the early morning rain, with no place to  go

C                     Em   Dm    G7       C     Cadd9 C
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go

         Cadd9               Dm    G7                      C      Cadd9 C
And I’m stuck here in the grass,     with a pain that ever grows.

         Cadd9           Dm  G7                         C    Cadd9 C
Now the liquor tasted good,     and the women all were fast

               Cadd9         Em      Dm              G7              C
Well there she goes again my friend,     yeah, she's rolling down at last

(C - F - G - F - to 4th string walk down to C)

C                       Em   Dm           G7            C     Cadd9 C
Hear the mighty engines roar,    see the silver bird on high

      Cadd9               Dm     G7                               C      Cadd9 C
She's away and westward bound,       far above the clouds she'll fly

         Cadd9                Dm  G7                     C      Cadd9 C
Where the morning rain don't fall,    and the sun always shines

          Cadd9          Em    Dm     G7                 C     Cadd9 C
She'll be flying over my home,     in about three hour’s time

C                         Em   Dm          G7             C     Cadd9 C
This old airport’s got me down,   it's no earthly good to me

           Cadd9             Dm     G7                            C      Cadd9 C
'Cause I’m stuck here on the ground,   as cold and drunk as I can be

          Cadd9      Dm     G7                        C      Cadd9 C
You can't jump a jet plane     like you can a freight train

     Cadd9         Em     Dm        G7            C     Cadd9 C
So I best be on my way,      in the early morning rain

          Cadd9      Dm     G7                        C      Cadd9 C
You can't jump a jet plane     like you can a freight train

     Cadd9         Em     Dm        G7            C     (C - F - G - F - to 4th string walk down to C)
So I best be on my way,      in the early morning rain

(C - F - G - F - to 4th string walk down to C)
