Intro: C     G     C 


 
                     G                        C 
In the early mornin' rain with a dollar in my hand 
                    Dm    G                      C 
And an achin' in my heart and my pockets full of sand 
                    Dm                            C 
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so 
                     G                    C     G     C 
In the early mornin' rain with nowhere to go 
 

 
                     G                C 
Out on runway number nine big 707 set to go 
                      Dm     G                         C 
I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow 
                  Dm                          C 
The liquor tasted good and the women all were fast 
                   G                             C 
There she goes, my friend, she's rollin' down at last

                        G                            C 
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high 
                        Dm     G                           C 
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly 
                             Dm   G              C 
Where the mornin' rain don't fall and the sun always shines 
                         Dm G                      C 
She'll be flyin' over my home in about three hours time

                          G                             C 
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me 
                             Dm      G                   C 
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I might be 
                    Dm    G                      C 
You can't hop a jet plane like you can a freight train 
                     Dm G                     C 
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain
