CIn the early morning rEmain     Dmwith a Gdollar in my hCand
CWith an aching in my hDmeart    Gand my pockets full of Csand
CI'm a long way from hDmome      Gand I miss my loved ones Cso
CIn the early morning rEmain     DmwGith no place to Cgo
Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that evergrows
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
Well now there she goes my friend, she's a-rolling down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

C Em Dm G C

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand

C Dm G C

With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand

C Dm G C

I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so

C Em Dm G C

In the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go

But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that evergrows

Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast

Well now there she goes my friend, she's a-rolling down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high

She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly

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

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

This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me

'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be

You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train

So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
