Early Mornin' Rain (G)

(Gordon Lightfoot)



(Intro: Am, D7, G/C, G)

G                    Bm   Am     D7           G  C G
In the early mornin' rain with a dollar in my hand *
G                   Am    D7                     G C G
And an achin' in my heart and my pockets full of sand
G                   Am   D7                      G
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
G                    Bm   Am   D7          G C G
In the early mornin' rain with no place to go  *

Out on the runway number nine
Big seven-o-seven sets to go
While I'm standin' on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Well, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast,
There she goes, my friend she's rollin' down at last

(Break: G, Bm, Am/D7, G/C // G, Am, D7, G/C, G)

Hear the mighty engines roar see the silver wings on high,
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall and the sun always shines,
She'll be flyin' o'er my home in about three hours time

(Break: G, Bm, Am/D7, G/C // G, Am, D7, G/C, G)

This old airport's got me down, It's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train,
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain
