[Intro]
G Bm Am D7/F# G*
[Verse 1]
G Bm* Am D7/F# G*
In the early mornin' rain, with a dollar in my hand,
G Am D7/F# G*
And an achin' in my heart, and my pocket's full of sand.
G Am D7/F# G*
I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so,
G Bm* Am D7/A G*
In the early mornin' rain, with no place to go.
[Verse 2]
G Bm* Am D7/F# G*
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go.
G Am D7/F# G*
But I'm out here on the grass, where the pavement never grows.
G Am D7/F# G*
Well, the liquor tasted good, and the women all were fast.
G Bm* Am D7/A G*
There she goes my friend, she's rollin' down at last.
[Verse 3]
G Bm* Am D7/F# G*
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high.
G Am D7/F# G*
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she flies.
G Am D7/F# G*
Where the mornin' rain don't fall, and the sun always shines.
G Bm* Am D7/A G*
She'll be flyin' o'er my home, in about three hours time.
[Verse 4]
G Bm* Am D7/F# G*
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me.
G Am D7/F# G*
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I might be.
G Am D7/F# G*
Can't jump a jet plane, like I can a freight train.
G Bm* Am D7/A G*
So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain.
[Outro]
G Am D7/A G*
So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain.
G

Great chord selection, for my vocal range capo 5th works best

Can these songs be made to fit on a single A4 sheet? This one could! I know some are too long.

Good version... Need to add the F# bass to the D7 Chord.
