Vers:
       D                G
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go.
    D                G
I'm standing here outside your door.
  D                G             A
I hate to wake you up to  say goodbye.

        D                   G
But the dawn is breaking it early morn.
    D                  G
The taxi's waitin he's blownin his horn.
  D            G                A
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.


Omkvæd:
   D           G             D                   G
So kiss me and smile for me. Tell me that you'll wait for me.
D                   G            A   A7
Hold me like you'll never let me go.         
          D      G               D               G                   D
Cause I'm leavin on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again.
    G              A
Oh, babe I hate to go.



Vers:
There's is many times I've let you down
So many time I've played around.
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.

Every place I go I'll think of you.
Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you.
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

Omkvæd:
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


Vers:
Now the time 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

Omkvæd:
I'm leavin on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe,  I hate to go.
