Capo: 4

This is the version my mother taught me. She used to play it back when it first came out. I use it on Capo 4 but it sounds good in any key. The chord progressions of the song are G-C and G-Em-Am-D. Here is the basic picking pattern for each chord: G C Em Am D e|---t-------------------------------------t-------------------------------| B|---------------t------------t------------------------t-------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----1---1-------1---1--------1---1--------1---1-------1---1-------------| A|------2-2---------2-2----------2-2----------2-2---------2-2--------------| E|-------3-----------3------------3------------3-----------3---------------| pick those patterns and follow these chords. when i play i usually only have time while singing to play each picking pattern once before i switch but you can make it your own.

^GAll my bags are packed I'm ^Cready to go I'm ^Gstandin' here ^Coutside your door I ^Ghate to wake you ^Emup to say good^Ambye ^D ^GBut the dawn is breakin' it's ^Cearly morn ^GThe taxi's waitin' he's ^Cblowin' his horn Al^Gready I'm so ^Emlonesome I could ^Amdie ^D

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 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 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 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 baby, I hate to go Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh baby, I hate to go Thanks for checking out my first tab. I love playing this song because it transcends generations - my mother and I both sat down and played it tonight. Message me or leave a comment if you have a question!
