Capo III ****

[Intro]

            

[Verse 1]

             
In the early m

        *
orning rain
             
 With a dollar

        *
 in my hand
              
With an aching

       
 in my heart
             
 And my pocket

          
s full of sand
              
I'm a long way

      
 from home
          
 and I miss my

           
 loved one so
              
In the early m

       
orning rain
             
 With no place

    
 to go

[Verse 2]

             
Out on the run

           
way number nin

e
             
 Big 707 set t

  
o go
              
And I'm stuck 

            
here in the gr

ass
             
 With a pain t

         
hat ever grows
              
Now the liquor

        
 tasted good
             
 And the women

          
 all were fast
              
Well there she

         
 goes my frien

d
             
 She'll be rol

             
ling down at l

             
ast

[Verse 3]

             
Hear the might

          
y engines roar
             
 See the silve

          
r wing on high
              
She's away and

          
 westward boun

d
             
 Far above the

              
 clouds she'll

 
 fly
              
Where the morn

              
ing rain don't

 
 fall
             
 And the sun a

      
lways shines
              
She'll be flyi

           
ng o'er my hom

e
             
 In about thre

                     
e hours time

[Verse 4]

             
This old airpo

            
rt's got me do

wn
             
 It's no earth

           
ly good to me
              
And I'm stuck 

            
here on the gr

ound
             
 As cold and d

              
runk as I can 


be
              
You can't jump

       
 a jet plane
             
 Like you can 

          
a freight trai

n
              
So I best be o

     
n my way
             
 In the early 

        
morning rain

[Ending]

             
You can't jump

       
 a jet plane
             
 Like you can 

          
a freight trai

n
              
So I best be o

     
n my way
             
 In the early 

                     
morning rain
