Chords

Song: Leaving on a jet plane Artist: John Denver Composer: John Denver Album: Rhymes and reasons Tabbed by DJ 24th Mar 2016 Play the G chords using middle, ring and little fingers. The C chord in the verses is played with a high G note with the little finger on the 1st string. For the choruses the C/G is formed by hammering-on the extra notes on 2nd and 4th strings using the index and middle fingers, make sure not to play the 5th string. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the information at the bottom of the tab. Dsus4 = xx0233 D6sus2 = xx0200 D7 = xx0212 D = xx0232 D9 = xx0210 G = 320003 Dsus2 = xx0230 D7sus4 = xx0213 C = x32013 C/G = 3x2013 Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== [Intro]

[Verse 1]
       G                    C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,

G                           C
   I'm standing here, out - side your door,

G                  C                D   Dsus4 D
I hate to wake you up to say good - bye,

        G                      C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,

    G                    C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,

G                 C                D     Dsus4 D
   Already I'm so lonesome I could die
[Chorus]
    G            C/G
So, kiss me, and smile for me,

Tell me that you'll wait for me,

G                   C            D    Dsus4 D
Hold me like you'll never let me go----------,

          G       C/G 
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,

So many times I've played around,

G                  C                    D    Dsus4 D 
   I tell you now, ...they don't mean a thing-------,

      G                C
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
