Key: :[E] (w: John Denver) (Peter, Paul & Mary, 1967)
VERSE 1:
All my
[E] bags are packed and
[A] ready to go
I'm
[E] standin' here out-
[A]-side your door
[E] I hate to wake you
[A] up to say good-
[B]-bye
[Bsus4] [B]
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn'
The taxi's waitin' he's blown his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
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
VERSE 2:
There's so many times I 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 bring your wedding ring
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
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
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
