John Denver: 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…
