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