                     C           Bb           F   
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
                     Bb                           F    Bb
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand ■ 
F                     Bb        C               F    Bb
■ I'm a long way from homeLordI ■ miss my loved ones so
F                      C         Bb          F 
■ In the early morning rain with no place to go
                     C    Bb                                   F 
Out on runway number nine a big seven hundred and seven set to go
                          Bb                             F     Bb
And I'm stuck here in the grass where the pavement never grows ■ 
F                       Bb   C                        F   
■ Now the liquor tasted good ■ and the women all were fast
                       C                Bb              F   
Well there she goes my friend she'll be rolling down at last
Bb C Bb F
■  ■ ■  ■
                        C            Bb             F   
Hear the mighty engines roar see the silver wing on high
                        Bb                         F         
She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
                       Bb         C             F            
There the morning rain don't fall ■ and the sun always shines
                         C       Bb          F         
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time


[Chorus]

[Verse]
                          C            Bb              F 
This old airport's got me down it's no earthly good to me
                          Bb                                F 
And I'm stuck here on the ground as cold and drunk as I can be
                     Bb    C                        F    
You can't jump a jet plane ■ like you can a freight train


[Chorus]
                     C          Bb    F            Bb
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain ■ 
F                      Bb    C7                        F     Bb
■ You can't jump a jet plane ■  like you can a freight train ■ 
F                      C          Bb            F   
■ So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
