C F C F 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...
