Songs For My Own Enjoyment: Leaving on a Jet Plane (G)

       G                

All my bags are packed  

    C             

I'm ready to go.  

    G              

I'm standing here  

    C                

out-side your door.  

  G                Am  

I hate to wake you up  

            D     D7 

to say good-bye.    

        G                 

But the dawn is breakin'  

     C            

it's early morn.  

    G               

The taxi's waitin'  

     C                  

he's blowin' his horn.  

   G            Am        

Al-ready I'm so lonesome  

        D    D7 

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           

There's so many times  

     C              

I've let you down.  

G              

So many times  

     C               

I've played around.  

G               

I tell you now  

Am                D      D7 

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            

When I come back  

     Am                D     D7 

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              

Now the time has come  

    C                 

for me to leave you.  

G              

One more time  

C                 

let me kiss you,  

     G                 

Then close your eyes,  

Am            D    D7 

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                

About the times  

Am              D   D7 

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  Am             D    

Oh babe I hate to go.
