In the early [C] morning rain, with a dollar [F] in my hand,
And an [C] aching in my heart, and [Bb] my pockets full [F] of sand,
I'm a long, [C] long way from home, and [Bb] I miss [F] my loved one so.
In the early [C] morning rain, [Bb] with no [C] place to [F] go,
[C]
[F]
Out on runway [C] number nine, big [Bb] 707 [F] set to go,
And I'm stuck here [C] on the ground, [Bb] where the cold [F] wind blows,
That [C] old liquor tasted good, [Bb] and the women [F] all were fed,
Well there she [C] goes my friend, [F]
[C] [F] she's [Bb] a-rolling [F] now at last,
Hear the mighty [C] engine roar, [Bb] see the silver [F] bird on high,
She's a-wayin' westward [C] bound, [Bb] high above the [F] clouds she'll fly,
Where the morning [C] rain don't fall, [Bb] and the sun [F] always shines,
She'll be flying [C] over my home, [Bb] in about three [F] hours time.

This old airport's [C] got me down, [Bb] it's no earthly [F] good to me,
And I'm stuck here [C] on the ground, [Am]
[C] as [Bb] cold and drunk as I [F] can be,
You can't jump a [C] jet plane, [Bb] like you can a [F] freight train,
So I'd best be on [C] my way, [Bb] in the early [F] morning rain,
Yeah I'd best be on [C] my way, in [Bb] the early morning [F] rain.
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
