Biography:
Formed at the University of San Francisco in early 1965, We Five had a hit months later with their version of Ian & Sylvia's "You Were On My Mind," which eventually reached #3 on the Billboard charts. The hit record helped popularize folk-rock. Unfortunately, with only one other hit ("Let's Get Together" before the Youngbloods' version hit big), We Five eventually broke up in 1967.

[Intro]
F Gm7 Bb F
[Verse]
Am Gm
In the early morning rain
F
Without a dollar in my hand
Gm Bb
With an aching in my heart
F
And my pockets full of sand
Gm Bb
I'm a long way from home
F
And I miss my darling so
Am Bb
In the early morning rain
F
With no place to go
[Verse]
Am Gm
Out on runway number nine
F
Seven-oh-seven set to go
Gm Bb
But I'm stuck here on the ground
F
Where the cold wind blows
Gm Bb
Where the liquor tasted good
F
And the women all were fast
Am Bb
There she goes my friend
F
She's rolling down at last
[Verse]
Am Gm
Hear the mighty engines roar
F
See the silver bird on high
Gm Bb
She's away and westward bound
F
High above the clouds she'll fly
Gm Bb
Where the morning rain don't fall
F
And the sun always shines
Am Bb
She'll be flying over my home
F
In about three hours time
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Am Gm
This old airport's got me down
F
Ain't no earthly good to me
Gm Bb
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
F
Cold and drunk as I can be
Gm Bb
You can't jump a jet plane
F
Like you can a freight train
Am Bb
So I'd best be on my way
F
In the early morning rain
Gm Bb
You can't jump a jet plane
F
Like you can a freight train
Am Bb
So I'd best be on my way
F
In the early morning rain
