Leaving on a Jet Plane

Verse 1:
6  -6  7    -7    6     -4  5    5 6 -6   6    7    -7  6   -4    
All my bags are packed, I'm read-y to go, I'm stand-ing here out
5     6   -6    6  7  -7  -6    6  7 -7  -6   6   -6   6   -6     
side your door, I hate to wake you up to say good-bye. But the
7   -7   6    -4    -4  5    6 -6     6   7  -7  6   -4    -4 
dawn is break-in', it's earl-y morn', the taxi's wait-in', he's
5    5   6   -6    5   7 -7  -6  6   7  -7  -6  6    -6
blow-in' his horn. All ready I'm so lonesome I could die.

Chorus:
-8 -8  -7  -8   7    -7  6   -8   7  -7    -8     7   -7  6
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me,
-8   7  -7   -8     7 -7   -6  6 -6   -6   -8  -8  -7  8 -8 7    -8
hold me like you'll never let me go. Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
 -8   -7   -8    7  -8  7   -7 -6  -8  7    -7 -6   6  -6
Don't know when I'll be back again. Oh babe, I hate to go.

Verse 2:
 6     -6  7 -7  6    -4   5   6   -6    6  7 -7   6    -4   
There's so many times I've let you down, so many times I've 
 5     6  -6   6 7    -7  -6   7   -7    -6   6 -6     6  -6
played around, I tell you now they don't mean a thing. Every
7    -7 6  -4    5    6  -6  6  6   7  -7  6     -4   5   6   -6    5
place I go I'll think of you every song I sing, I'll sing for you. When
7  -7   -6   6    7    -7   -6    6  -6
I come back I'll bring your wedd-ing ring.

Chorus

Verse 3:
7   -7   6   -4   5   6   -6   6     7   -7    6  5   6  -6   -6    6
Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you, then
 7    -7   -6     7  -7 -6  6  -6    7    -7 6   -4 -4   6  -6     6
close your eyes, I'll be on my way. Dream about the days to come, when 
7 -7     6  -4   5    6 -6   5  7   -7  -6   7  -7    -6  6  -6
I won't have to leave alone, a-bout the time I won't have to say.

Chorus (ending with a fade out)
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
