And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky,
C Em Am Em F C
"I will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I will ride,
G F C
To the city, far across the plains,
G F C
To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes,
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F C
Choo choo choobeduwee,
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F C G F
On that midnight train"
C F C F
And then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar,
C F G F
A pretty girl slid over nice and easy, "boy your money won't go far."
C F C F
She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight,
C Em Am Em F C
And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless night,
G F C
In that city, far across the plains,
G F C
In that city, he could hear that midnight train, down the line,
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F C
Choo choo choobeduwee,
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F Am Bm E Bm A
He could hear that midnight train
C F C F
And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay,
C F G F
His horses they're still waiting, for he is gone away,
C F C F
Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill
C Em Am Em F C
All you cowboys, take it easy, there's no grass there at all,
G F C
In that city, far across the plains,
G F C
In that city, you'd better miss that midnight train, here it comes
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F C
Choo choo choobeduwee,
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F C
You'd better miss that midnight train
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F C
Choo choo choobeduwee,
G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
F Am
That train is coming for you...
