Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][G]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
In the early mornin' [A]rain
With a [G]dollar in my [D]hand[G][D]
With an aching in my [G]heart
And my pockets full of [D]sand[G][D]
I'm a long way from [G]home
[A]Lord I miss my loved one[D] so[G][D]
In the early mornin' [A]rain
With [G]no place to [D]go[G][D]

[Verse 2]
Out on runway number [A]nine
Big seven o [G]seven set to [D]go[G][D]
Well I'm stuck here in the [G]grass
Where the pavement never [D]grows[G][D]
Now, the liquor tasted [G]good
[A]And the women all were fas[D]t[G][D]
Well, there she goes my [A]friend
She'll be [G]rolling down at [D]last[G][A][G]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Hear the mighty engines [A]roar
See the [G]silver wing on [D]high[G][D]
She's away and westward [G]bound
Far above the clouds [D]she'll [G]fly[D]
Where the mornin' rain [G]don't fall
[A]And the sun alw[D]ays shi[G]nes[D]
She'll be flying over my [A]home
In a[G]bout three hours [D]of [G]time[A][G]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
This ol' airport's got me [A]down
It's no [G]earthly good to [D]me[G][D]
And I'm stuck here on the [G]ground
As cold and drunk as I can [D]be[G][D]
You can't jump a jet [G]plane
[A]Like you can a freight tra[D]in[G][D]
So I best be on my [A]way
In the [G]early mornin' [D]rain[G][D]
You can't jump a jet [G]plane
[A]Like you can a freight tra[D]in[G][D]
So I best be on my [A]way
In the [G]early mornin' [D]rain[G][A][G]
[D][G][D]
