D A G6 D G6 D
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
G6 D G6 D
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
G6 A D G6 D
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
A G6 D G6 D
In the early morning rain with no place to go
D A G6 D G6 D
Out on runway number nine big seven-o-seven set to go
G6 D G6 D
But, I'm stuck here in the grass where the cold wind blows
G6 A D G6 D
Now, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
A G6 D G6 D
Well, there she goes, my friend, well she's rollin now at last
D A G6 D G6 D
Hear the mighty engines roar - see the silver bird on high
G6 D G6 D
She's away and westward bound - Far above the clouds she'll fly
G6 A D G6 D
Where the mornin' rain don't fall and the sun always shines
A G6 D G6 D
She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time
D A G6 D G6 D
This old airport's got me down - it's no earthly good to me
G6 D G6 D
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground As cold and drunk as I can be
G6 A D G6 D
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
A G6 D G6 D
So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
