Play the G chords using middle, ring and little
fingers. The C chord in the verses is played with
a high G note with the little finger on the
1st string.
For the choruses the C/G is formed by hammering-on
the extra notes on 2nd and 4th strings using the
index and middle fingers, make sure not to play the
5th string.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the

Verse 1
All my
bags are packed, I'm
ready to go,
I'm standing here, out -
side your door,
I hate to wake you
up to say good -
bye,
But the
dawn is breaking, it's
early morn,
The
taxi's waiting, he's
blowing his horn,
Already I'm so
lonesome I could
die
Chorus
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
leaving
on a jet plane,
Don't know when
I'll be back again,
Oh,
babe, I hate to
go--
-------
--
Verse 2
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
------
-
Chorus
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 Im
leaving
on a jet plane,
Don't know when
I'll be back again,
Oh,
babe, I hate to
go--
--------
--
Verse 3
Now the time has
come to leave you,
One more time,
...let me kiss you,
Close your eyes, and
I'll be on my
way-
-------
-,
Dream about the
days to come,
When
I won't have to
leave alone,
A -
bout the times
...I won't have to
say-
------
--...
Chorus
...Oh,
kiss me, and
smile for me,
Tell me that you'll
wait for me,
Hold me like you'll
never let me
go--

leaving
on a jet plane,
Don't know when
I'll be back again,
Oh,
babe, I hate to
go--

on a jet plane,
Don't know when
