  27 In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
  28                     Dm           G               C
  29 And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
  30                     Dm         G                C
  31 I'm a long way from home and I miss my love one so
  32                      G                    C
  33 In the early morning rain with nowhere to go.

  37 Out on runway number nine big 707 set to go
  38 I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow
  39 The liquor tasted good and the women all are fast
  40 There she goes my friend, she's rolling down at last.
  41
  42 G  C  Dm  G  C
  43
  44 Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
  45 She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
  46 Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
  47 She'll be flying over my home in about three hours' time.
  48
  49 G  C  Dm  G  C

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