Early Mornin' Rain

   G                     Hmi  Ami    D            G 
1. In the early mornin' rain with a dollar in my hand 
                        Ami  D                       G 
   and an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand 
                        Ami D                        G 
   I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved one so 
                         Hmi  Ami  D           G 
   in the early mornin' rain with no place to go. 
2. Out on runway number nine big seven-o-seven set to go 
   but I'm out here on the grass where the pavement never grows 
   well the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast 
   there she goes my friend she's rollin' down at last. 
3. Hear the mighty engine roar see the silver wing on high 
   she's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly 
   where the mornin' rain don't fall and the sun always shines 
   she'll be flyin' o'er my home in about three hours time. 
4. This old airport's got me down it's no earthly good to me 
   'cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I might be 
   can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train 
   so I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain 
    G                    Ami D                     G 
   so I'd best be on my way  in the early mornin' rain.
