In The Early Morning Rain

C                    G7    Dm     G7           C 
In the early morning rain  with a dollar in my hand 

                    Dm     G7                     C 
And an aching in my heart  and my pockets full of sand 

                     Dm    G7                        C 
I'm a long ways from home  and I missed my loved one so 

                     G7    Dm   G7          C 
In the early morning rain  with no place to go 


                     G7    Dm    G7       C 
Out on runway number nine  big 707 set to go 

                         Dm     G7                       C 
Well I'm out here on the grass  where the pavement never grows 

                        Dm    G7                     C 
Where the liquor tasted good  and the women all were fast 

                  G7      Dm    G7             C 
There she goes my friend  she's rolling out at last 


                        G7    Dm      G7             C 
Hear the mighty engines roar  see the silver bird on high 

                        Dm     G7                       C 
She's away and westward bound  far above the clouds she flies 

                             Dm    G7                 C 
Where the morning rain don't fall  and the sun always shines 

                         G7    Dm  G7               C 
She'll be flying over my home  in about three hours time 


                         G7    Dm      G7              C 
This old airports got me down  it's no earthly good to me 

                            Dm      G7                        C 
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground  cold and drunk as I might be 

                 Dm     G7                     C 
Can't jump a jet plane  like you can a freight train 

                   G7   Dm     G7            C 
So I best be on my way  in the early morning rain 


                   Dm   G7                   C 
So I best be on my way  in the early morning rain 

                   Dm   G7                   C 
So I best be on my way  in the early morning rain
