Am C
Worn out vacant motel sign
G F
Run down bedroom 209
Am C G
Tonight that’s where I’ll try to find Some rest
Am C
Whiskey bottle on the floor
G F
King James Bible from the drawer
Am C G
Neither won but lord they’ve done their best
Am F
They can’t stop the thought of you
Am F
Like a freight train passing through
(Chorus)
C
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
F
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
G F C
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
C
The wheels are turning in my soul
F
Her memory’s burning black as coal
G F C
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
G
All night long
Am
Til it’s dawn
F
Then she’s gone
(verse 2)
Am C
Heatwaves on the rolling hills
G F
Rise like ghosts of love that’s dead
Am C G
Haunt this lonesome highway of regret
Am C
Can’t slow down I can’t look back
G F
Until this train runs out of track
Am C G
You can’t outrun that one you can’t forget
Am F
It’s like I’m frozen in this dream
Am F
While she’s slowly gaining speed
(Chorus) X2 (Instrumental in between)
C
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
F
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
G F C
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
C
The wheels are turning in my soul
F
Her memory’s burning black as coal
G F C
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
G
All night long
Am
Til it’s dawn
F
Then she’s gone
