Chords

From the album: Far Beyond These Castle Walls (1975) Comment for any corrections and please rate There was a lonesome cowboy, who rode his horse all day, At night he slept in the moonlight, till he heard that midnight train,
      C                 F             C                        F
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...
