In the Early Morning Rain

[C] In the early morning [G] rain [F] with a dollar in my [C] hand. With an aching in my [Dm] heart [F] and my pockets full of [C] sand. I’m a long way from [Dm] home, [F] Lord, I miss my loved ones [C] so. In the early morning [G] rain with no [F] place left to [C] go
[ F G ]

[C] Out on runway number [G] nine [F] a big 707 set to [C] go. And, I’m stuck here in the [Dm] grass [F] where the pavement never [C] grows. Now, the liquor tasted [Dm] good and the [F] women all were [C] fast. Well, there she goes, my [G] friend, she’ll be [F] rolling down at [C] last
[ F G ]

[C] Hear the mighty engines [G] roar, [F] see the silver wing on [C] high. She’s away and westward [Dm] bound, far [F] above the clouds she’ll [C] fly. There the morning rain don’t [Dm] fall and the [F] sun always [C] shines. She’ll be flying over my [G] home in [F] about three hours [C] time
[ F G ]

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