Leaving On a Jet Plane by Chantal Kreviazuk

Note, the coda is a little different from the original version. A little more dramatic I would say.

Song: Leaving On a Jet Plane
By:   Chantal Kreviazuk 

[intro:]
                 D  G  D  G
Aaaaaah........
                 D  G  D  G
Aaaaaah........

[verse: 1]
        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's early morn
      D                   G
The taxi's waiting he's blowing his horn 
  D	         G 	        A    
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

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

[bridge:]
D   G              D   G
      Aaaaaah....

[verse: 2]
           D		       G
There's so many times I've let you down
    D		    G
So many time I've played around
   D            G                 A
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
       D	  	       G
Every place I go I'll think of you
       D	  	       G
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
     D		      G	               A
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring


[chorus:]  {repeat} {note, background vocals for part of chorus}

[verse: 3]
D {let ring}	         G
 Now the time is come to leave you
D	             G
One more time let me kiss you
       D		     G	           A
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
D {band kicks in}        G
Dream about the days to come
     D		          G
When I won't have to leave alone
D 	           G{let ring}  A {let ring}
About the times I won't have to say

Tell me that you'll wait for me
 D		    G            A
Hold me like you'll never let me go 
          D	 G
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane 
 D		G
Don't know when I'll be back again
D   G             A
Oh, babe I hate to go
 D	  G
Now I'm leaving on a jet plane
 D		G
Don't know when I'll be back again
D    G            A
Oh, babe I hate to go.
