This is Paul Weller's cover of a Gordon Lightfoot song.

It could have ended in tears of the very wrong kind. But no. Weller makes a marvellous job of it.

Eight great verses. Standard tuning.

The most difficult part is to get a nice lilting rhythm on it, including the 
little roll on and off the E major to Esus4 at the end of each alternate line.

In the early morning rain

F#m                     E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
    With a dollar in my hand

                 F#m

In the early morning rain

   With no place to go

Out on runway number nine

F#m                      E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
    Seven o seven set to go

                          F#m
But I'm stuck here on the ground

B7                     E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
   Where the cold wind blows

Now the liquor tasted good

    And the women all were fast

                  F#m
There she goes my friend

B7                          E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
   She'll be rolling now at last

Hear the mighty engines roar

F#m                        E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
    See the silver bird on high

                        F#m
She's away and westward bound

B7                             E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
   Far above the clouds she'll fly

                             Abm
Where the morning rain don't fall

F#m                    E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
    And the sun always shines 

                         F#m
She'll be flying over my home

B7                       E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
   In about three hours' time

This old airport's got me down

F#m                         E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
    It's no earthly good to me

                          F#m
Cos I'm stuck here on the ground

B7                         E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
   Cold and drunk as I can be


verse 8
=======

                     Abm
You can't jump a jet plane

F#m                        E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
    Like you can a freight train

                     F#m
So I'd best be on my way

B7            E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E
   In the early morning rain
