John Denver – Leaving On A Jet Plane (Ukulele)

       G                     C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,

     G               C
I'm standing here outside your door,

   G               C             D
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.

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

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

  G             C               D
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

    G           C
So kiss me and smile for me,

G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me,

G                   C            D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

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

                C               G
Don't know when I'll be back again,

    C               D
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

           G               C
There's so many times I've let you down,

    G            C
So many times I played around,

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

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

       G                C
Every song I sing I'll sing for you,

     G            C                      D
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

    G           C
So kiss me and smile for me,

G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me,

G                   C            D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

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

                C               G
Don't know when I'll be back again,

    C              D
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

G                 C
Now the time has come to leave you,

G               C
One more time, let me kiss you,

     G                   C             D
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way.

G                C
Dream about the days to come,

     G                C
When I won't have to leave alone,

 G              C                D
About the times I won't have to say:

 G           C
Kiss me and smile for me,

G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me,

G                   C            D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

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

                C               G
Don't know when I'll be back again,

    C               D
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

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

                C               G
Don't know when I'll be back again,

    C               D                  G
Oh, babe, I hate to go oh-oh oh-oh.
