[D] [G] [A] [D]
¶ in the early [F#m] morning rain
[Bm][A] with a dollar [D] in my [E] hand
[D]
¶ and an aching [Em] in my heart
[G] ¶ and my pocket's full [D] of sand
¶ I'm a long [E] way from home
[G] ¶ and I miss my loved [D] one so
¶ in the early [F#m] morning rain
[Em]
[A] with no [D] place to go
¶ out on runway [F#m] number 9
[D][Em]
big [A] 707 [D] set to go
¶ but I'm stuck [Em] here on the green
[G]
where the [D] cold winds are blowing
¶ while the liquor [E] tasted good
[G] ¶ and the women [D] all were fast
¶ there she [F#m] goes my friend
[G][A] she's a [D] rolling arrow at last

[Em]
[D] [G]
[D] hear the [F#m] mighty engine roar
[Em][A] see the [D] silver bird [E] off
[D] she's a-wayin' [E] westward bound
[A][G]
high above the [D] clouds she'll fall
¶ where the morning rain [E] don't fall
[D] [G] ¶ and the sun [D] always [Bm] shines
[D] ¶ she'll be flying over [F#m] my [Em] home
[A] in about three [D] hours time
¶ this old [F#m] airport's got me down
[Em] [A] it's no worth the [D] good to [G] me
[D] I'm stuck here [E] on the ground
[Em][G]
cold and drunk as [D] I can be
¶ you can't jump a [Em] big jet plane
[G] like you can an [D] old freight train
¶ so I'd best be [F#m] on my way
[Em] [D] ¶ in the early morning rain
¶ you can't jump a big [E] jet plane
[G]
¶ like you [D] can an old freight train
¶ so I'd best be on [F#m] my [B] way
