Intro
[Bb] [Dm] [Cm] [F7] [Bb]
[Bb] In the early mornin' [Dm] rain, [Cm] with a [F7] dollar in my [Bb] hand,
And an achin' in my [Cm] heart, [F7] and my pocket's full of [Bb] sand.
[Bb] I'm a long way from [Cm] home, [F7] and I miss my loved one [Bb] so,
In the early mornin' [Dm] rain, [Cm] [F7] with no place to [Bb] go.
[Bb] Out on runway number [Dm] nine, [Cm] [F7] big 707 set to [Bb] go.
But I'm out here on the [Cm] grass, [F7] where the pavement never [Bb] grows.
Well the liquor tasted [Cm] good, [F7] and the women all were [Bb] fast.
[Bb] There she goes my [Dm] friend, [Cm] [F7] she's rollin' down at [Bb] last.
[Bb] Hear the mighty engines [Dm] roar, [Cm] [F7] see the silver wing on [Bb] high.
[Bb] She's away and westward [Cm] bound, [F7] far above the clouds she [Bb] flies.
[Bb] Where the mornin' rain don't [Cm] fall, [F7] and the sun always [Bb] shines.
[Bb] She'll be flyin' o'er my [Dm] home, [Cm] [F7] in about three hours [Bb] time.
[Bb] This old airport's got me [Dm] down, [Cm] [F7] it's no earthly good to [Bb] me.
[Bb] Cause I'm stuck here on the [Cm] ground, [F7] cold and drunk as I might [Bb] be.
[Bb] Can't jump a jet [Cm] plane, [F7] like I can a freight [Bb] train.
[Bb] So I'd best be on my [Dm] way, [Cm] [F7] in the early mornin' [Bb] rain.
[Bb] So I'd best be on my [Cm] way, [F7] in the early mornin' [Bb] rain.
