Leaving On A Jet Plane Chords by John Denver

_ But anyway, I like to fly a whole lot and flying over here, like I said, was fun.
The only aspect of flying that I don't like is when you have to leave [G] somebody that you care for a great deal,
and leave home and go out on the road.
And I wrote a song about that.
This was about six years [Dm] ago, I guess.
And [G] I'd like to do it for you.
It's called Leaving on a Jet Plane.
_ [D] _ _ [Eb] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ All [G] my bags are packed, [C] I'm ready to [G] go
I'm standing here [C] outside your door
[G] I hate to [C] wake you up to [D] say goodbye
_ _ _ [G] But the dawn is breaking, [C] it's early morn
[G] The taxis wait, [C] the knees blown to torn
[G] Already [C] I'm so lonesome [D] I could die
So _ [G] _ kiss [C] me and smile for [G] me
Tell me that [C] you'll wait for [G] me
Hold me like [C] you'll never let [D] me _ _ go
[G] Leaving _ [C] _
on a jet [G] plane, don't [C] know when [G] I could again
_ [C]
Oh babe, [D] I hate to go
_ _ _ _ There's _ _ [G] so many [C] times I let you down
[G] So many [C] times I played around
[G] I tell you [C] now, they [D] don't mean a thing _
_ [G] Every place I go, [C] I'll think of you
[G] Every song I [C] sing, I'll sing for you
[G] When I come back, [C]
I'll bring your [D] wedding ring _
_ [G] So kiss me [C] and smile for [G] me
Tell me that [C] you'll wait for me
[G] Hold me [C] like you'll never let [D] me go _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] Leaving on a jet [G] plane, don't know [C] when I could [G] again
[C] Oh babe, I [D] hate to go _
_ _ Now _ _
_ _ [G] _ the [C] time has come to leave you
[G] One more [C] time, let me kiss [G] you and close your [C] eyes
I'll [D] be on my _ way
_ [G] Dream about [C] the days to come
[G] When I won't have [C] to leave alone
[G] About the times [C] I _ _ [D] have to say
_ _ [G] Kiss me [C] and smile for me
[G] Tell me that [C]
you'll wait for [G] me
Hold me [C] like you'll never [D] let me _ _ [G] go
Love me, _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C]
I'll be back [G] again
[C] Oh babe, I [D] hate to _ go
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] Leaving on a jet [G] plane, don't [C] know when I'll be back [G] again
[C] Oh babe, _ _ _ [D] I hate to go _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
