Leaving On A Jet Plane----John Denver
Words and Music by John Denver
G C
1) All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
2) There's so many times I've let you down
3) Now the time has come to leave you
G C
1) I'm standing here outside your door
2) So many times I've played around
3) One more time, let me kiss you
G C D
1) I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
2) I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
3) Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
G C
1) But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
2) Every place I go, I'll think of you
3) Dream about the days to come
G C
1) The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
2) Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
3) When I won't have to leave alone
G C D
1) Already I'm so lonesome I could die
2) When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
3) About the times I won't have to say:
Chorus: (1, 2 & 3)
G C G C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
G C D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
G C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
G C G
Don't know when I'll be back again
C D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....
