Leavin On A Jet Plane
John Denver
4/4 Time
 
       A                   D
All my bags are packed, Im ready to go
   A               D
Im standin here outside your door
  A                D             E             
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
        A                    D
But the dawn is breakin, Its early morn
    A                  D
The taxis waitin, He's blowin his horn
  A           D                 E            
Already Im so lonesome, I could die 

   A           D
So kiss me and smile for me
A                  D     
Tell me that youll wait for me
A                  D            E            
Hold me like youll never let me go
          A     D   
Cause Im leavin on a jet plane
A              D                 
Dont know when Ill be back again
   A      D          E
Oh babe, I hate to go


Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Evry place I go, Ill think of you
Evry song I sing, Ill sing for you
When I come back, Ill bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
Cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, Ill be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
Cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But, Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
