Early Morning Rain

[INTRO:] G  Am  C  D  C  G  C  G    D  G  D  C  G  C  G

[VERSE 1:]
N.C.                 D    G  D
In the early morning rain
       C            G   C  G
With a dollar in my hand
                     Am   C  D
With an aching in my heart
       C               G   C  G
And my pockets full of sand
                    Am   C  D
I'm a long ways from home
      C               G  C  G
And I miss my darling so
                     D    G  D
In the early morning rain
     C           G  C  G
With no place to go


[VERSE 2:]
                     D    G  D
Out on runway number nine
      C            G  C  G
Big 707 all set to go
                          Am    C  D
But I'm stuck here on the ground
           C          G    C  G
Where the (kin) never grows
                          Am    C  D
Where the liquor tastes so good
        C              G     C  G
And the women there are fine
                       D      G  D
Well, there she goes my friend
      C             G     C  G
She's rolling out at last


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G    D  G  D  C  G  C  G    Am  C  D  C  G  C  G
                Am  C  D  C  G  C  G    D  G  D  C  G  C  G


[VERSE 3:]
N.C.                    D   G  D
Hear the mighty engines roar
        C              G     C  G
See the silver wings on high
                        Am    C  D
She's away and westward bound
      C                       G   C  G
High across the clouds she'll fly
                             Am   C  D
Where the morning rain don't fall
        C          G      C  G
And the sun always shines
                         D    G  D
She'll be flying o'er my home
    C               G     C  G
In about three hours time


[VERSE 4:]
                                D    G  D
While this old airport's got me down
        C              G   C  G
It's no earthly good to me
                          Am     C  D
For I'm stuck here on the ground
         C              G  C  G
Cold and drunk as I can be
                     Am    C  D
You can't jump a jet plane
         C             G     C  G
Like you can a freight train
                   D   G  D
So I best be on my way
       C             G    C  G
In the early morning rain
