Elvis Presley - Early Morning Rain (Take 11) chords
Start Jamming...
[E] Beer, I said I got a woman.
[B]
Someone just [E] choked him.
[A]
Here [G] goes my fucking career right down that drain.
[Bb] Is that it?
[E] [Bb]
[G] Shoot it, buddy pal.
In [C] [Em]
[Dm] [G] [C]
the early morning [Em]
rain,
[Dm] With a [G] dollar in [C] my hand,
An aching in [G] my heart,
And my pockets full [C] of sand,
I'm a long ways [Dm] from home.
[G] And I miss my loved [C] one so,
[F] [C] In the early [Em] morning rain,
[Dm] [G] With no [C] place to go.
Out on runway [Em] number nine,
[G] Make seven on seven set [C] to go.
But I'm out here on [Dm] the grass,
[G] Where the pavement [C] never grows,
[Dm] [C] Where the liquor tasted [Dm]
good.
[G] And the women [C] all wear fast,
There she [Em] goes my friend,
[Dm] [G] She's rolling [C] out at last.
Hear the mighty engines [Em] roll,
[Dm] [G] See the silver [C] wing on high,
She's away [Dm] westward bound,
[G] Far above the [C] clouds she'll fly,
Where the morning [Dm] rain won't fall,
[G] And the sun [C] always shines,
She'll be flying [Em] over my home,
[Dm] [G] In about three [C] hours time.
This old air force [Em] got me down,
[Dm] [G] It's no earthly good [C] to me,
Cause I'm stuck here [Dm] on the ground,
[G] Cold and drunk as I [C] might be,
[C] Can't jump the [Dm] jet plane,
[G] Like you can't a freight [C] train,
So I'd best be on [Em] my way,
[Dm] [G] In the early [C] morning rain,
So I'd best be on [Dm] my way,
[G] In the early [C] morning rain,
So I'd best be on [Dm] my way,
[F] [G] In the early [C] morning rain,
So I'd best be on [F] my [Dm] way,
[G] In the early morning [C] [Ab]
[G] rain.
