D  G  A  G  D  G  D
                     A           G            D     G  D
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
                     G                            D    G  D
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
                    G    A                        D   G  D
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
                     A    G                D   G  D
In the early morning rain with no place to go


                     A         G                    D   G  D
Out on runway number nine, big seven—o—seven set to go
                          G                           D     G  D
But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that evergrows
                      G    A                      D     G  D
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
                           A       G                       D     G  D
Well now there she goes my friend, she's a—rolling down at last


                        A             G              D     G  D
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high
                        G                                  D    G  D
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
                             G            A          D       G  D
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
                         A       G                 D     G  D
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time


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