Leaving On A Jet Plane (John Denver Cover)

John Denver's 'Leaving On A Jet Plane' performed by Rob Yates. The song didn't really become a hit until Peter, Paul and Mary covered it in 1969. Since then, many have covered it. The song famously appeared in the 1998 film 'Armageddon' which was sung by Chantal Kreviazuk. Anyway, I thought I might share this one with ya since its such an enjoyable song to sing!

Hope you enjoy....
Rob :)




All my bags are packed
Im ready to go
Im standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin
Its early morn
The taxis waitin
Hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Evry place I go, Ill think of you
Evry song I sing, Ill sing for you
When I come back, Ill bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
Ill be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But, Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

if i wasnt using a capo...what would the chord formation be?...

[bobajob1981]

@ddwanted666 - Without the capo, you'd need to play in the key of 'A' (i.e. A - D - A -D - A - D - E......) in order to maintain the same pitch. Depending on your vocal range, you may just want to avoid using the capo alltogether and just play the same chords as I've used in the key of 'G' (instead of 'A')?.....
