Intro: A  C  E  G  E  D  C  Dm  G  C  G

C                    G     Dm     G            C 
In the early mornin' rain, With a dollar in my hand 
C                   Dm     G                      C 
And an aching in my heart, And my pockets full of sand 
C                    Dm    G                         C 
I'm a long ways from home, And I missed my loved one so 
C                    G     Dm      G        C 
In the early mornin' rain, With no place to go 


C                    G     Dm    G        C 
Out on runway number nine, Big 707 set to go 
C                        Dm     G                        C 
Well I’m out here on the grass, Where the pavement never grows 
C                       Dm    G                      C 
Where the liquor tasted good, And the women all were fast 
C                 G       Dm    G              C 
There she goes my friend, She's rolling out at last 


C                       G      Dm      G              C 
Hear the mighty engines roar , See the silver wing on high  
C                       Dm     G                        C 
She's away and westward bound, For above the clouds she flies 
C                            Dm    G                  C 
Where the mornin' rain don't fall, And the sun always shines 
C                        G     Dm G                 C 
She'll be flying over my home, In about three hours time 
C                         G     Dm      G               C 
This ol' airport’s got me down, It's no earthly good to me 
C                            Dm      G                         C 
'Cause I’m stuck here on the ground, Cold and drunk as I might be 
C                Dm      G                      C 
Can't jump a jet plane , Like you can a freight train  
C                  G    Dm     G             C 
So I best be on my way, In the early mornin' rain 
C                  Dm   G                    C 
So I best be on my way, In the early mornin' rain 
g,a,c,e,g,e,d,c,   Dm   G                    C 
So I best be on my way, In the early mornin' rain
