1 * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... In the early morning rain___, .... with a dollar in my hand___

* * 2m * * * 1 *
.... With an achin' in my heart___, .... and my pockets full of sand___

* * 5 * * * 1 *
.... I'm a long way from home___, .... and I miss my loved ones so___

* * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... In the early morning rain___, .... with no place to go___

1 * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... Out on runway number nine___, .... big seven-oh-seven set to go___
* * 2m * * * 1 *
.... But I'm stuck here in the grass___, .... where the cold wind blows___
* * 5 * * * 1 *
.... Now the liquor tasted good___, .... and the women all were fast___
* * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... Well there she goes, my friend___, .... she is rolling now at last___


1 * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... Hear the mighty engines roar___, .... see the silver bird on high___
* * 2m * * * 1 *
.... She's a-way and westward bound___, .... far a-bove the clouds she'll fly___
* * 5 * * * 1 *
.... Where the mornin' rain don't fall___, .... and the sun always shines___
* * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... She'll be flyin' o'er my home___, .... in a-bout three hours time___

1 * 3m * * 2m 1 *
.... This old airport's got me down___, .... ain't no earthly good to me___
* * 2m * * * 1 *
.... 'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground___, .... as cold and drunk as I might be___
* * 5 * * * 1 *

.... So I'd best be on my way___, .... in the early morning rain___
