[F#m] [E]
[F#m] [E]
In the early [G#m] morning [A] rain, with a dollar in [E] my hand, with an aching in [A] my heart, and my
pockets [E] full of sand, I'm a long [A] ways from home, and I miss my [E] darling so.
In the early morning [G#m]
rain, [F#m] [B] with [E] no place to go, out on runway number [G#m]
nine, [Bm] [A] big 707 [E] set
to go, but I'm stuck here on [A] the grass, where the cold wind, [E]
where the liquor [A] tasted good,
and the women [E] all [C#m]
[E] were fussed.
There she [G#m] goes my friend,
[F#m] [B] oh she's rolling [E] not at last.
Hear the mighty engine [G#] roar, [C#m] [A] see the silver wing on [E] high, she's a-whizzing [A] westward bound,
high above the [E] clouds she'll glide, where the morning [A] rain don't fall, and the sun [E] always shines,
she'll be flying on my [G#m]
[F#m] [E] home in about three hours time.

[Bm] [F#m] [B] [E]
old [G#m] airport's got me down,
[C#m] [A] it's no earthly good [E] to me, well I'm stuck here [A] on the ground, cold and drunk as I [E] can be,
you can jump a [A] jet plane, like you can a [E] freight train, so I'll just be on [G#m] my way.
[F#m] In the early [E] morning rain, you can jump a [A] jet plane, like you can a freight [E] train,
so I'll just be on [G#m] my
[F#m] way, [B] in the [E] early morning rain.
