Key: C
Introduction:
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
