Early Morning Rain

A

D

G

D

In the early mornin'

A

rain

With a

G

dollar in my

D

hand

G

D

With an aching in my

Em7

heart

And my pockets full of

D

sand

G

D

I'm a long ways from

G

home

A

And I missed my loved one

D

so

G

D

In the early mornin'

A

rain

With

G

no place to

D

go

G

D

Out on runway number

A

nine

Big seven o

G

seven set to

D

go

G

D

But I'm stuck here on the

Em7

grass

Where the pavement never

D

grows

G

D

Now the liquor tasted

G

good

A

And the women all were

D

fast

G

D

Well there she goes my

A

friend

G

She'll be rolling down at

D

last

G

A

G

D

G

D

Hear the mighty engines

A

roar

See the

G

silver wing on

D

high

G

D

She's away and westward

Em7

bound

Far above the clouds she'll

D

fly

G

D

Where the mornin' rain don't

G

fall

A

And the sun always

D

shines

G

D

She'll be flying over my

A

home

In a

G

bout three hours

D

time

G

A

G

D

G

D

This ol' airport's got me

A

down

It's no

G

earthly good to me

D

G

D

And I'm stuck here on the

Em7

ground

As cold and drunk as I can

D

be

G

D

You can't jump a jet

G

plane

A

Like you can a freight

D

train

G

D

So I best be on my

A

way

In the

G

early mornin'

D

rain

G

D

You can't jump a jet

G

plane

A

Like you can a freight

D

train

G

D

So I best be on my

A

way

In the

G

early mornin'

D

rain
