: Leaving on a Jet Plane

D7 
All my G 
bags are packed C 
I'm ready to go, 
G 
I am standing C 
here outside the door, 
G 
I hate to wake you C 
up to say good-D 
bye. 
But the G 
dawn is breaking, C 
it's early morn' 
G 
The Taxi's waiting, C 
he's blowing his horn, 
G 
Already I'm so C 
lonesome I could D 
die. 

So G 
kiss me and C 
smile for me, 
G 
Tell me that you'll C 
wait for me, 
G 
Hold me like you Ami 
never let me D 
go, 
'Cause I'm G 
leaving C 
on a jet plane, 
G 
Don't know when C 
I'll be back again. 
G 
Oooh C 
babe I hate you D 
go. 

There's so many times I've let you down 
So many times I've played around, 
I tell you now they don't mean a thing. 
Every place I'll go I'll think of you 
Every song I'll sing I'll sing for you 
When I'll come back I'll bring you wedding ring. 

So kiss me… 

Now the time has come to leave you 
One more time let me kiss you 
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way. 
Dream about the days to come 
When I won't have to leave alone 
About the times I don't have to say. 

So kiss me…

Almost Heaven, Em 
West Virginia
D 
Blue Ridge Mountains, C 
Shenandoah G 
River
G 
Life is old there, Em 
older than the trees
D 
Younger than the mountains, C 
growing like a G 
breeze

Ch: Country G 
roads, take me D7 
home
To the Em 
place I C 
belong
West G 
Virginia, mountain D 
mama
Take me C 
home, country G 
roads

2. G 
All my memories Em 
gather 'round her
D 
Miner's lady, C 
stranger to blue G 
water
G 
Dark and dusty, Em 
painted on the sky
D 
Misty taste of moonshine, C 
teardrop in my G 
eye
Ch: Country G 
roads, take me D7 
home
To the Em 
place I C 
belong
West G 
Virginia, mountain D 
mama
Take me C 
home, country G 
roads

Bridge: Em 
I hear her D7 
voice in the G 
morning hour, she calls me
The C 
radio G 
reminds me of my D 
home far away
Em 
Driving down the F 
road, I get a C 
feeling
That I G 
should have been home D 
yesterday, D7 
yesterday

Ch: Country G 
roads, take me D7 
home
To the Em 
place I C 
belong
West G 
Virginia, mountain D 
mama
Take me C 
home, country G 
roads

Outro: Take me D 
home, (Down) country G 
roads
Take me D 
home, (Down) country G 
roads
