[Intro] | E7#9 G | A C | E7#9 G | A | [Guitar solo with riff] E7#9 E7#9 2x
       E7#9             E7#9
I was standin' at the station,

         E7#9          E7#9
Ten to midnight in the rain

      E7#9             E7#9
I was mindin'   my own bus'ness,

       E7#9               E7#9
Waiting for that midnight train

   E7#9               E7#9
Nobody in sight,    starin' at my shoes

   E7#9                     E7#9
     I took out my paper to find me some good news

    E7#9                        E7#9
        Mindin' my own bus'ness     When the ticket man 

   E7#9                       E7#9
    called my name      Yeah, yeah, babe

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9                E7#9
         Comin' down the line
[guitar riff] | E7#9 G# A A# B | C# D C# D D# | | E7#9 G# A A# B | C# D D# E7#9 |
     E7#9                     E7#9
So I say, "If it ain't too much trouble,

           E7#9         E7#9
When's the local out of town?"

      E7#9              E7#9
His reply:        "Two a.m."

      E7#9           E7#9
If I'm leavin'  local-bound

      E7#9                  E7#9
I can catch it in forty minutes,

      E7#9               E7#9
If I want to grab the express

        E7#9                    E7#9
But the local trains are hard to come by,

      E7#9                  E7#9
This time of night, more or less  Listen, said mow

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
         Comin' down the line
[Interlude] | E7#9 G | A C | E7#9 G | A | [So;o over verse 2x] [Verse with Guitar riff]
       E7#9  G#  A  A# | B C# D D#
So I stood for forty minutes,

        E7#9   G#   A   A# | B C# D C# D D#
It was raining and it was cold

        E7#9    G#    A   A#  |  B C# D D#
When the express rolled down the track,

          E7#9      G#   A   A# | B  C#  D  C#  D  D#
I did not care where it was gonna go. Yeah, yeah, He said...

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
There ain't no midnight train

      E7#9               E7#9
         Comin' down the line
