Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]In the early morning rain,
[F#m]withou[Em]t a daughter in my han[D]d
With an aching in [Em]my heart,
an[G]d my pockets full of s[D]and
I'm a long [Em]way from home
[G]And I miss my darling [D]so
In the early morning [F#m]rain
[G]With no [D]place to go
Down on runway number [F#m]nine
[Em]Big 707 set [D]to go
But I'm stuck here on [Em]the grass, [G]where the cold winds [D]blow,
where the liquor tasted [Em]good [G]and the women [D]all walk past.
There she goes, my [F#m]friend.
[Em]She's rolling down at ni[D]ght.
Hear the mighty engine [F#m]roar.
[G]See the silver wing on [D]high.
She's a wind west[Em]ward bound.
High above the [G]clouds [D]she'll fly.
Where the morning rain [Em]don't fall.
[G]An d the sun al[D]ways shines
She'll be fine on [F#m]my own
[Em]In about three h[G]ours' ti[D]me
[F#m][Em][D][F#m][Em][D]
This old airport's got me down
[F#m]Ain't [Em]no earthly good to me[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Cause I'm stuck here on the [Em]ground
[G]Cold and drunk as [Em]I can be[D]
You can't jump jet [Em]plane
[G]Like you can't a freight [D]train
So I'd best be on [F#m]my way
[G]In the early morning [D]rain
You can't jump the plane,
[Em]like[G] a kid on a freight [D]train
So I passed you on [F#m]my way,
[G]in the early morning rai[D]n

[Outro 1]
