Intro:  C       Am7    Am     Em       F        Dm  C    

V1
C      Am7    Am     Em    F      Dm7    Dm    C
In the early morning rain, with a dollar in my hand
        Am     Dm7   Dm             F              C
With an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of sand
      Am7  Am        Dm    F     Dm7       Dm        C
I'm a long ways from home, and I missed my loved one so
       Am7    Am     Em         F        Dm  C    
In the early morning rain, with no place to  go


V2
C      Am7     Am    Em    F       Dm     C
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
        Am         Dm7    Dm               F         C
But I’m stuck here in the grass, where the cold wind blows
        Am7    Am     Dm    F       Dm7   Am       C
Now the liquor tasted good, and the women all were fast
     Am7       Am      Em            F       Dm7     C      
Well there she goes my friend, she's rolling down at last


V3
C        Am7    Am      Em    F       Dm7    Dm      C
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
        Am         Dm7    Dm                 F          C
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she flies
          Am7     Am         Dm    F       Dm7   Am   C
Where the morning rain don't fall, and the sun always shines
          Am7    Am      Em        F          Dm7    C      
She'll be flying over my home, in about three hour’s time


V4
C        Am7       Am     Em    F       Dm7     Dm      C
This old airport’s got me down, it's no earthly good to me
       Am             Dm7    Dm                  F              C
'Cause I’m stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
    Am7    Am        Dm     F        Dm7   Am      C
You can't jump a jet plane, like you can a freight train
     Am7     Am    Em          F             C
So I best be on my way, in the early morning rain
