[Intro] G Bm Am D7/F# G* [Verse 1]
G                      Bm*     Am         D7/F#        G*
  In the early mornin' rain,       with a dollar in my hand,

G                     Am   D7/F#                       G*
  And an achin' in my heart,   and my pocket's full of sand.

G                     Am   D7/F#                       G*
  I'm a long way from home,    and I miss my loved one so,

G                      Bm*   Am       D7/A        G*
  In the early mornin' rain,     with no place to go.
[Verse 2]
G                      Bm*   Am        D7/F#    G*
  Out on runway number nine,     big 707 set to go.

G                        Am   D7/F#                          G*
  But I'm out here on the grass,    where the pavement never grows.

G                        Am   D7/F#                       G*
  Well, the liquor tasted good,    and the women all were fast.

G                  Bm*    Am        D7/A             G*
  There she goes my friend,    she's rollin' down at last.
[Verse 3]
G                         Bm*   Am           D7/F#          G*
  Hear the mighty engines roar,      see the silver wing on high.

G                         Am   D7/F#                        G*
  She's away and westward bound,   far above the clouds she flies.

G                              Am   D7/F#                   G*
  Where the mornin' rain don't fall,     and the sun always shines.

G                          Bm*   Am     D7/A             G*
  She'll be flyin' o'er my home,    in about three hours time.
[Verse 4]
G                           Bm*   Am           D7/F#           G*
  This old airport's got me down,      it's no earthly good to me.

G                             Am    D7/F#                           G*
  'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground,    cold and drunk as I might be.

G                  Am     D7/F#                     G*
  Can't jump a jet plane,      like I can a freight train.

G                      Bm*   Am          D7/A          G*
  So I'd best be on my way,       in the early mornin' rain.
[Outro]
G                      Am          D7/A          G*
  So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain.
