       G                   C            
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go  
    G                 C               
I'm standing here out-side your door  
  G                Am             D    D7 
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye    
        G                     C           
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn  
    G                   C                 
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn  
   G            Am               D    D7 
Al-ready I'm so lonesome I could cry    
   
   G           C             
So kiss me and smile for me  
G                   C            
Tell me that you'll wait for me  
G                   Am           D  D7 
Hold me like you'll never let me go   
    G       C               
I'm leavin' on a jet plane  
G               C                   
Don't know when I'll be back again  
G  Am             D   D7 
Oh babe I hate to go    
   
           G               C             
There's so many times I've let you down  
G                  C              
So many times I've played around  
G              Am                D     D7 
I tell you now they don't mean a thing   
      G               C             
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you  
      G                C             
Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you  
     G                Am                D    D7 
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring   
   
   G           C             
So kiss me and smile for me  
G                   C            
Tell me that you'll wait for me  
G                   Am           D  D7 
Hold me like you'll never let me go   
    G       C               
I'm leavin' on a jet plane  
G               C                   
Don't know when I'll be back again  
G  Am             D  D7 
Oh babe I hate to go   
   
        G                 C                
Now the time has come for me to leave you  
G             C                
One more time let me kiss you  
     G                Am            D   D7 
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               Am              D   D7 
About the times I won't have to say   
   
   G           C             
So kiss me and smile for me  
G                   C            
Tell me that you'll wait for me  
G                   Am           D   D7 
Hold me like you'll never let me go    
    G       C               
I'm leavin' on a jet plane  
G               C                   
Don't know when I'll be back again  
G  Am             D  D7 
Oh babe I hate to go   
   
          G   
I hate to go
