EARLY MORNIN' RAIN    (Listen to sample)

 

  G                                 Bm   - C             D                 G

1.   In the early mornin' rain,        with a dollar in my hand,

                                       Am   - D                                      G

    and an aching in my heart,       and my pockets full of sand.

                                    Am     - D                                         G

    I'm a long way from home,      and I miss my loved one so,

                                    Bm   - C         D                G

    in the early mornin' rain,        with no place to go.

 

                                          Bm   - C                      D                 G

2. Out on runway number nine,       big seven-o-seven set to go,

                                          Am    - D                                               G

    but I'm out here on the grass,       where the pavement never grows.

                                         Am    - D                                         G

    Well, the liquor tasted good,        and the women all were fast,

                                   Bm     - C            D                    G

    there she goes my friend,      she is rollin' down at last.

 

                                           Bm   - C                D                   G

3. Hear the mighty engine roar,        see the silver wing on high,

                                               Am     - D                                            G

    she's away and westward bound,       far above the clouds she'll fly .

                                                  Am   - D                                  G

    Where the mornin' rain don't fall,        and the sun always shines,

                                         Bm     - C        D                        G

    She'll be flyin' o`er my home,       in about three hours time.

 

                                             Bm    - C             D                     G

3. This old airport's got me down,       it's no earthly good to me,

                                                    Am     - D                                          G

    cause I'm stuck here on the ground,      cold and drunk, as I might be.

                               Am     - D                                     G

    Can't jump a jet plane,        like you can a freight train ,

                                      Bm    - C            D                   G

    So I'd best be on my way,        in the early mornin' rain.

                                       Am   - D                                  G

    So I'd best be on my way,         in the early mornin' rain.
