[Verse 1]
D                    A    Asus4  A      G/D          D    G/D  D
In the early morning rain,       with a dollar in my hand
D                    Em7/D                         D    Dsus4  D
With an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of sand
D                    G/D    A                          D   Dsus4  D
I'm a long ways from home,  Lord I missed my loved one so
D                    A    Asus4  A       G/D      D    G/D  D
In the early morning rain,       with no place to go


[Verse 2]
D                    A    Asus4  A   G/D          D    G/D  D
Out on runway number nine,       Big 707's set to go
D                        Em7/D                           D     Dsus4  D
Well I'm out here on the grass, where the pavement never grows
D                     G/D      A                      D    Dsus4  D
Now the liquor tasted good,    And the women all were fast
D                      A      Asus4   A         G/D           D
Well there she goes my friend,        She’ll be going down at last

D                       A    Asus4  A       G/D            D    G/D  D
Hear the mighty engines roar,       see the silver wing on high
D                       Em7/D                            D    Dsus4  D
She's away and westward bound,  for above the clouds she flies
D                            G/D   A                  D      Dsus4  D
There the morning rain don't fall, and the sun always shines
D                        A    Asus4  A    G/D              D
She'll be flying over my home,       in a-bout three hours time

This old airport's got me down,        it's no earthly good to me
D                            Em7/D                                D   Dsus4 D
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I might be
D                G/D    A                      D    Dsus4   D
Can't jump a jet plane, like you can a freight train
D                  A    Asus4   A      G/D           D    Dsus4
So I best be on my way,         in the early morning rain


[Coda]
D                G/D    A                      D    Dsus4   D
