verse 1: 
N.C.                 D    G  D 
In the early morning rain 
       C            G   C  G 
With a dollar in my hand 
                     Am   C  D 
With an aching in my heart 
       C               G   C  G 
And my pockets full of sand 
                    Am   C  D 
I'm a long ways from home 
      C               G  C  G 
And I miss my darling so 
                     D    G  D 
In the early morning rain 
     C           G  C  G 
With no place to go 


verse 2: 
                     D    G  D 
Out on runway number nine 
      C            G  C  G 
Big 707 all set to go 
                          Am    C  D 
But I'm stuck here on the ground 
           C          G    C  G 
Where the (kin) never grows 
                          Am    C  D 
Where the liquor tastes so good 
        C              G     C  G 
And the women there are fine 
                       D      G  D 
Well, there she goes my friend 
      C             G     C  G 
She's rolling out at last

                Am  C  D  C  G  C  G    D  G  D  C  G  C  G 


verse 3: 
N.C.                    D   G  D 
Hear the mighty engines roar 
        C              G     C  G 
See the silver wings on high 
                        Am    C  D 
She's away and westward bound 
      C                       G   C  G 
High across the clouds she'll fly 
                             Am   C  D 
Where the morning rain don't fall 
        C          G      C  G 
And the sun always shines 
                         D    G  D 
She'll be flying o'er my home 
    C               G     C  G 
In about three hours time 


verse 4: 
                                D    G  D 
While this old airport's got me down 
        C              G   C  G 
It's no earthly good to me 
                          Am     C  D 
For I'm stuck here on the ground 
         C              G  C  G 
Cold and drunk as I can be 
                     Am    C  D 
You can't jump a jet plane 
         C             G     C  G 
Like you can a freight train 
                   D   G  D 
So I best be on my way 
       C             G    C  G 
In the early morning rain
