| [C] | [Bb] | [F] | [Bb] |
| [F] ...In the | early morning | [Csus4] rain | [Csus4] |
| [C] ...With a | [Bb] dollar in my | [F] hand | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...With an | aching in my | [Gm7] heart | [Gm7] |
| [Gm7] ...and my | pockets full of | [F] sand | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...I'm a | long way from | [Gm7] home | [Gm7] |

| [F] ...In the | early morning | [Am] rain | [Am] |
| [C] ...With | [Bb] no place to | [F] go | [Bb] |
| [F] ...Out on | runway number | [Csus4] nine | [Csus4] |
| [C] ...big seven o | [Bb] seven set to | [F] go | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...But I'm | stuck here in the | [Gm7] grass | [Gm7] |
| [Gm7] ...With a | pain that ever | [F] grows | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...Now the | liquor tasted | [Gm7] good | [Gm7] |
| [C] ...And the | women all were | [F] fast | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...Well now | there she goes my | [Am] friend | [Am] |

| [C] ...See the | [Bb] silver wing on | [F] high | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...She's a- | way and westward | [Gm7] bound | [Gm7] |
| [Gm7] ...Far a- | bove the clouds she'll | [F] fly | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...Where the | morning rain don't | [Gm7] fall | [Gm7] |
| [C] ...And the | sun always | [F] shines | [Fsus4] |

| [C] ...In a- | [Bb] bout three hours | [F] time
| [Bb] | [C] | [Bb] | [F] | [Bb] |
| [F] ...This old | airport's got me | [Csus4] down | [Csus4] |
| [C] ...It's no | [Bb] earthly good to | [F] me | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...'Cause I'm | stuck here on the | [Gm7] ground | [Gm7] |
| [Gm7] ...As cold and | drunk as I can | [F] be | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...You can't | jump a jet | [Gm7] plane | [Gm7] |
| [C] ...like you | can a freight | [F] train | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...So I'd | best be on my | [Csus4] way | [Csus4] |
| [C] ...in the | [Bb] early morning | [F] rain | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...You can't | jump a jet | [Gm7] plane | [Gm7] |
| [C] ...like you | can a freight | [F] train | [Fsus4] |
| [F] ...So I'd | best be on my | [Csus4] way | [Csus4] |
