Midnight Train

G  C  D   G  C  D   G  C  D   G  C  D

[Verse 1]
          G
I climbed out my bedroom window
Em
Shimmied down the tree
      C
Under cover of the darkness
  D
I crept on down the street
       G
She is waiting for my signal
         Em
Hope her daddy doesn't hear
         C
When she scrambles down the trellis
            D
And we just up and disappear


[Verse 2]
        B7                                C
I'll be waiting 'neath a streetlight all alone
                       G
Like a dog waits for a bone
                           D
Honey, please don't let me down
    Bm                           C
I'm only trying to make you understand
                      Am
Come on baby, take my hand
                    D
Only love and love alone's gonna save us now


[Verse 3]
   G                                  C
Oh Angie, can't you hear that whistle blow
                            G
Pack your bags it's time to go
                             D
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
      G                                 C
We'll ride the rails 'til morning comes around
                      G
Wake up in some other town
        D              Em
Where nobody knows our names
     C               D                 G      C  D
Run away with me and ride the midnight train


[Interlude]
G  C  D


[Verse 4]
      G
We discovered long ago
                Em
This town ain't big enough for two
      C
Who refuse to dream in black and white
     D
Like all the others do
          G
I want to see those colours shine
            Em
Like in the stories I've been told
        C
Want to follow that old rainbow
        D
'Til we find that pot of gold


[Verse 5]
   B7                                C7
Oh Angie, don't you listen when they tell you I'm insane
             G                                   D
They're only trying to keep your heart up on the fence
           Bm                           C
'Cause the truth is it's the other way around
                                 Am
And that's the trouble with this town
                       D
I'm the only one who's talking any sense


[Verse 6]
   G                                 C
Oh Angie, can't you hear the engines whine
                        G
She's rumbling down the line
                             D
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
      G                                 C
We'll ride the rails 'til morning comes around
                      G
Wake up in some other town
        D              Em
Where nobody knows our names
     C               D                 F      G
Run away with me and ride the midnight train

[Verse 7]
   G                                  C
Oh Angie, can't you hear the lonesome sound
                         G
Nothing else can stop us now
                             D
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
      G                                 C
We'll ride the rails 'til morning comes around
                      G
Wake up in some other town
        D              Em
Where nobody knows our names
     C               D
Run away with me and ride
     Em            Bm
Run away with me tonight
     C               D                 G
Run away with me and ride the midnight train
