[C] [Em]
[Dm] We [G] had no [C] place to [Dm] go
[C] Out on runway [Em] number 9
[Dm] Big [G] 707 set [C] to go
From out here on [Dm] the grass
[G] Where the pavement [C] never grows
Where the liquor [Dm] tasted good
[G] And the women [C] all were fast
There she goes [Em] my friend
[Dm] [G] She's rolling [C] out at last
Hear the mighty [Em] engines roll
[Dm] See [G] the silver wing [C] on high
She's way [Dm] northward bound
[G] Far above the [C] clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain [Dm] don't fall
[G] And the sun [C] always shines
She'll be flying over [Em] my home
[Dm] In [G] about three [C] hours time
This old airforce got [Em] me down
[Dm] It's [G] no earthly good [C] to me
Cause I'm stuck here on [Dm] the ground
[G] Holding drums on [C] my feet
Can't jump the jet [Dm]
plane
[G] Like you can't a freight [C]
train
So I best be on [Em] my way
[Dm] In [G] the early [C] morning rain
So I best be [Dm] on my way
[G] In the early [C] morning rain
So I best be on [Dm] my way
[G] In the early [C] morning rain
[Dm]
