[Intro]
D
 
[Verse 1]
       G                    C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
    G                C
I'm standing here outside your door
G                   C             D
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
        G                      C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
    G                    C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
G               C                D
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
 
[Chorus]
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G                   C             D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G     C              D
  Oh babe, I hate to go
 
[Verse 2]
          G                C
There's so many times I've let you down
 G                 C
So many times I've played around
G               C                 D
 I tell you now they don't mean a thing
      G               C
Every place I go I'll think of you
      G                C
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
     G             C                     D
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
 
[Chorus]
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G                   C             D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G     C              D
  Oh babe, I hate to go
 
[Verse 3]
G                C
Now the time has come to leave you
G             C
One more time let me kiss you
     G               C             D
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
G               C
Dream about the days to come
     G               C
When I won't have to leave alone
 G              C               D
About the times I won't have to say
 
[Chorus]
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G                   C            D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G          C         D
  Oh babe, I hate to go
 
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G          C         D
  Oh babe, I hate to go

Caps lock sucks!

you can do strumming pattern DDU UDU or you could do (finger picking) A string then B string then D string then G string then repeat
