Early Mornin Rain

Recitation N.C. (Four o'clock in the morning and it's been raining N.C. Little paddles of water reflect the thousand thin points of color N.C. As neon signs shine and glimmer down into them N.C. There's a sad unshaven face looking back at me N.C. From one of those little ponds that keeps asking N.C. How did I get here where can I go N.C. And even if I got there this aching in my heart N.C. E E E Would go with me) N.C. G#m In the early morning rain B E With a dollar in my hand F#m7 And an aching in my heart B E And my pockets full of sand F#m7 I'm a long long way from home B E And I miss my loved ones so G#m In the early morning rain B E With no place to go G#m Out on runway No 9 B E Big 7-0-7 set to go F#m7 But I'm stuck here in the grass B E Where the cold wind blows F#m7 Now the liquor tasted good B E And the women all were fast G#m Well there she goes my friend B E She's a rolling now at last | E | G#m | B | E | E | | E | E | F#m7 | F#m7 | B | | B | E | E | E G#m Hear the mighty engines roar B E See the silver bird on high F#m7 She's away and westward bound B E Far above the clouds she'll fly F#m7 Where the morning rain don't fall B E And the sun always shines G#m She'll be flying o'er my home B E In about three hours time N.C. G#m This old airport's got me down B E It's no earthly good to me F#m7 Cause I'm stuck here on the ground B E As cold and drunk as I can be F#m7 You can't jump a big jet plane B E Like you can an old freight train G#m So, I'd best be on my way B E E E E E In the early morning rain . . fades out
