Leaving On A Jet Plane

Words and Music by John Denver

       G                    C
All my bags are packed; I'm ready to go
    G                C
I'm standing here outside your door
  G                C             D7
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
        G                      C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
    G                    C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
  G            C                D
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

       G           C
    So kiss me and smile for me
    G                   C
    Tell me that you'll wait for me
    G                   C            D7
    Hold me like you'll never let me go
               G       C
    'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
    G               C             D7   G
    Don't know when I'll be back again
       C              D7
    Oh babe I hate to 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 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

    [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]

    [CHORUS] G
