[F] In the early [Am] morning [Bbm] rain
[Bb] You darling [F] in my head
With an aching [Bb] in my heart
And my [F] pockets full of sand
I'm [C] alone [Bb]
and I miss my darling [F] so
In the early [Am] morning rain
[C] With no [F] place to go
Out on runway [Am] number nine
[Bb] Big 707 set [F] to go
But I'm struck here [Bb] on the grass
Where them [C] cold [F] winds blow
All the liquor tasted [Bb] good
And them women [F] all were pissed
There she [Am] goes my friend
[C] Oh she's [D] rolling [F] down that line
[Am]
[Gm] [C] [F]
[Bb]
[F]
See
[Bb] [C] you [Gb] soon on wing [F] on high
Either way in the [Bb] westward bound
Far above [F] the cloud she'll fly
Where the morning rain [Bb] don't fall
And the sun [F] always shines
She'll be [C] flying over [Am] my
[C] home
In about three [F] hours time
This old airforce got [Am] me down
[Bb] It's [F] no earthly good to me
Cause I'm stuck here on [Bb] the grass
As cold and drunk [F] as I can be
You can't jump [Bb] a jet plane
Like you can't afraid [F] of trains
So I'd best be on [Am] my [C] way
[D] In the [E] early morning
[F]
You can't jump a jet [Bb] plane
Like you can't [F] afraid of trains
So I'd best be [Am] on my way
[Gm] [D] In the [C] early [F] morning
You might have recognized [N] this gentleman
I guess you've recognized this gentleman
And now he's going to do something on his own
Here's Gordon Lightfoot
[Bb] You darling [F] in my head
With an aching [Bb] in my heart
And my [F] pockets full of sand
I'm [C] alone [Bb]

So I'd best be [Am] on my way
[Gm] [D] In the [C] early [F] morning
You might have recognized [N] this gentleman
I guess you've recognized this gentleman
And now he's going to do something on his own
