Early Morning Rain

Biography:

Paul Weller (born 25 May 1958) is an English singer / songwriter, leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council. In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star.

Weller's eleventh studio album, Sonik Kicks, was released on 19 March 2012. The Green Songfacts reports that it was recorded in Weller’s own Black Barn Studios in Ripley

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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

With no place to go

Out on runway number nine

Where the cold wind blows

Now the liquor tasted good

Hear the mighty engines roar

Gbm E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E-Esus4 E

Far above the clouds she'll fly

Where the morning rain don't fall

In about three hours' time

This old airport's got me down

Cold and drunk as I can be

verse 8
=======

Abm
You can't jump a jet plane

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

Gbm
So I'd best be on my way

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