D
(2) A (3)
In the early morning rain
G (1) D (4)
With a dollar in my hand
G (4)
With an achin’ in my heart
D (4)
And my pockets full of sand
G (2)
I’m a long way from home
A
(2) D
(4)
And I miss my loved ones so
A (3)
In the early morning rain
G (1) D (4)
With no place to go
A
Out on runway number nine
G D
Big seven-o-seven set to go
G
But I’m stuck here in the grass
D
Where the cold wind blows
G
Now the liquor tasted good
A D
And the women all were fast
A
Well there she goes my friend
G D
Well she’s rollin’ down at last
A
Hear the mighty engines roar
G D
See the silver bird on high
G
She’s away and westward bound
D
Far above the clouds she’ll fly
G
Where the mornin’ rain don’t fall
A D
And the sun always shines
A
She’ll be flyin’ o’er my home

In about three hours time
D A
This old airport’s got me down
G D
It’s no earthly good to me
G
’cause I’m stuck here on the ground
D
As cold and drunk as I can be
G
You can’t jump a jet plane
A D
Like you can a freight train
A
So I’d best be on my way
