LEAVIN’ ON A JET PLANE w.m. John Denver 4/4 1…2…123

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go, I’m standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn’, taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn.

Already I’m so lonesome I could cry. CHORUS:

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Leavin’ On a Jet Plane p. 2

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 go I’ll think of you, every song I sing I’ll sing for you

When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring…………… CHORUS

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 won’t have to say……………….CHORUS

(Dm) If I (C) look (F) hard enough (C) into the (Dm) setting sun,

My (C) love will (F) laugh with (C) me (Dm) before the morning comes

(Dm) I see my red door and I (A) want it painted black,

(Dm) No colours anymore, I (A) want them to turn black.

(Dm) I (C) see the (F) girls walk (C) by dressed (Dm) in their summer clothes,

I (C) have to (F) turn my (C) head un-(Dm)-til my darkness goes.

(Dm) Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm (A) mm mm mm mm mm mm ( x4)

I wanna’ see it (Dm) painted, - painted (A) black, oh,

I wanna’ see it (Dm) painted, - painted (A) black, oh.
