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...
