capo iii

D G A G D G

D A
in the early morning rain
G D
with a dollar in my hand
A
with an aching in my heart
G D
and my pockets full of sand
A
i m a long ways from home
G D
and i missed my loved one so
A
in the early morning rain
G D
with no place to go

A
out on runway number nine
G D
big 707 set to go
A
but i m stuck here in the grass
G D
where the cold wind blows
A
now the liquor tasted good
G D
and the women all were fast
A
well there she goes my friend
G D G A G D G D
she s rolling down at last

A
hear the mighty engines roar
G D
see the silver bird on high
A
she s away and westward bound
G D
far above the clouds she flies
A
where the morning rain don t fall
G D
and the sun always shines
A
she ll be flying over my home

G D G A G D G D
in about three hours time

A
this old airport s got me down
G D
it s no earthly good to me
A
cause i m stuck here on the ground
G D
as cold and drunk as i can be
A
you can t jump a jet plane
G D
like you can a freight train
A
so i best be on my way
G D
in the early morning rain

A
you can t jump a jet plane
G D
like you can a freight train
A
so i best be on my way
G D
in the early morning rain
