[Leaving on a Jet Plane]
[Bass] 
[G, F# - G, F# - G, G, F# - G, G, F# - G, F# - G]

[Verse]
G                       C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
G                    C
I'm standing here outside your door
G                  C           D(Guitar)    
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye
G                              C
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
G                        C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
G              C           D(Guitar) 
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

[Chorus]
G              C       
So kiss me and smile for me
G(High)             C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G(High)             C            D w/Riff 1
Hold me like you'll never let me go
G                  C 
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
G(High)         C   
Don't know when I'll be back again
G(High) C             Riff 1
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Riff 2

[Verse] (Upstrokes first half, pm second) 
There's so many times I've let you down, 
So many times I've fucked 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]
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 be alone, 
About the times I won't have to say 

[Repeat Chorus]

G many strums for the end.
