[Verse 1]
E                    B
In the early morning rain
A                   E
With a dollar in my hand
                     F#m
And an aching in my heart
A                      E
And my pockets full of sand
                     F#m
I'm a long ways from home
A                         E
And I missed my loved one so
                     B
In the early morning rain
A                E
With no place to go


[Verse 2]
                     B
Out on runway number nine
A              E
Big 707 set to go
                          F#m
But I?m stuck here in the ground
A                   E
Where the cold wind blows
                      F#m
Now the liquor tasted good
A                      E
And the women all were fast
                       B
Ahh there she goes my friend
A                     E
Now she's rolling down at last


[Verse 3]
                        B
Hear the mighty engines roar
A                      E
See the silver bird on high
                        F#m
She's away and westward bound
A                        E
Far above the clouds she flies
                             F#m
Where the morning rain don't fall
A                  E
And the sun always shines
                         B
She'll be flying over my home
A                    E
In about three hours time


[Verse 4]
                          B
This old airport's got me down
A                       E
It's no earthly good to me
                             F#m
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
A                          E
Cold and drunk as I can be
                     F#m
You can't jump a jet plane
A                      E
Like you can a freight train
                   B
So I best be on my way
A                    E
In the early morning rain


[Outro]
                     F#m
You can't jump a jet plane
A                      E
Like you can a freight train
                   B
So I best be on my wa-a-a-y-y-y
A                    E
In the early morning rain
E
