^C In the early mornin' ^Emrain ^Dm With a ^G7dollar in my ^Chand ^C And an aching in my ^Dmheart ^G7 And my pockets full of ^Csand ^C I'm a long ways from ^Dmhome ^G7 And I missed my loved one ^Cso ^C In the early mornin' ^Emrain ^Dm With ^G7no place to ^Cgo

[Verse 2]

^C Out on runway number ^Emnine ^Dm Big 70^G77 set to ^Cgo ^C Well I'm out here on the ^Dmgrass ^G7 Where the pavement never ^Cgrows (goes?) ^C Where the liquor tasted ^Dmgood ^G7 And the women all were ^Cfast ^C There she goes my ^Emfriend ^Dm She's ^G7rolling out at ^Clast

[Verse 3]

^C Hear the mighty engines ^Emroar ^Dm See the ^G7silver wing on ^Chigh ^C She's away and westward ^Dmbound ^G7 For above the clouds she ^Cflies ^C Where the mornin' rain don't ^Dmfall ^G7 And the sun always ^Cshines ^C She'll be flying o'er my ^Emhome ^Dm In a^G7bout three hours ^Ctime

[Verse 4]

^C This ol' airport's got me ^Emdown ^Dm It's no ^G7earthly good to ^Cme ^C 'Cause I'm out here on the ^Dmground ^G7 Cold and drunk as I might ^Cbe ^C Can't jump a jet ^Dmplane ^G7 Like you can a freight ^Ctrain ^C So I best be on my ^Emway ^Dm In the ^G7early morning ^Crain

[Coda]

^C So I best be on my ^Dmway ^G7 In the early morning ^Crain ^C So I best be on my ^Dmway ^G7 In the early morning ^Crain ^C
