The Midnight Train.
[F#] [A]
[E]
Well I've been all around [D] my old [A] hometown
I've searched everywhere [E] I know
[A] But I can't find a trace of my girl in this place
So there's nothing to do but go
I'll be riding that midnight [D] train [A] when it's leaving
And I'm going away [B] to stay
[A] Always wanted to [B] know where the engine [A] did go
Gonna go where it goes today
[D] [Am]
[E] [A]
[E]
[A]
Oh she said she'd be true [B] till the fight [Am] was through
Said she'd wait for me [E] till the end
[A] But she's proven untrue [D] and her sweet [A] love is through
So I'm catching that train again
I'll be riding that [Bm] midnight train [A] when it's leaving
And I'm going away to stay
Always wanted to know where the engine did go
Gonna go where it goes today
[E] [B]
[A]
Well I've seen that old train [D] pulling out [A] in the rain
Seated leeward, the stars up above
Like I held on the trail that carries the mail
It will take me away from that load
I'll be riding that midnight train when it's leaving
And I'm going away [E] to stay
[A] Always wanted to know [D] where the [A] engine did go
Gonna go where it goes today
[D] [A]

Gonna go where it goes today
