Hợp âm - tab: Early Morning Rain - cảm âm - lời bài hát

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 [Abm]rain

[Gbm] With a dollar in my [E-Esus4]hand[E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]

I'm a long way from [Abm]home

[Gbm] And Lord I miss my loved one [E-Esus4]so[E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]

In the early morning [Gbm]rain

[B7] With no place to [E-Esus4]go[E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]

verse 3


Out on runway number [Abm]nine

[Gbm] Seven o seven set to [E-Esus4]go[E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]

But I'm stuck here on the [Gbm]ground

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

verse 4

Now the liquor tasted [Abm]good

[Gbm] And the women all were [E-Esus4]fast[E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]

Where the morning rain don't [Abm]fall

[Gbm] And the sun always [E-Esus4]shines [E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]

You can't jump a jet [Abm]plane

[Gbm] Like you can a freight [E-Esus4]train[E-Esus4][E-Esus4][E]
