[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

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.
