[A] [D] [A]
No matter what I say or [D] do, you're never [A] satisfied.
I've tried and tried so many times, I'm leaving you now, goodbye.
I'm riding on that midnight train, [D] my head's a [A] hanging low.
These awful blues will follow me [E] wherever [A] I may go.
[D] [A]
Oh, if on earth was I ever born, [D] I'll never [A] understand.
To fall in love with a woman like you, in love with another man.
I'm riding on that midnight train, [D] my head's a [A] hanging low.
These awful blues will follow me wherever I may go.
[D] [A]
You broke a heart that trusted you, [D] why wasn't it made [A] of stone?
I'm left in a world like gas now, yet I must travel on.
I'm riding on that midnight train, [D] my head's a [A] hanging low.
These awful blues will follow me [E] wherever [A] I may go.
[D] [A]
[E] [Am] [A]
I'm riding on that midnight train, [D] my head's a hanging [A]
low.
These awful blues will follow me wherever I may go.
