Tune down 1/2 step, EbAbDbGbBbeb [Verse 1]
D
I was hiding from the sun once again,

D
I was running from the time my friend,

     A
I've lost another war.

      G
So, I poured one more,

                    D
and went home drunk again.

D
She was up when the key hit the lock,

D
and the clock looked at me just like

    A
the devil in disguise.

         G
I saw it in her eyes-

                         D
she'd be gone before the evenin'.
[Refrain]
G
So, I poured another strong one

                                D
and chopped a line from here to Texas.

G
Cause I've lost another good one -

                               D
she's on the midnight train to Memphis.
[Verse 2]
D
With a brand new start,

D
I swore I'd love from the heart,

           A
I meant to change my ways.

              G
But I've seen better days,

                                D
than the one's that's here this mornin'.

D
With a wife and kids at home

D
with a job somewhere

        A
on some assembly line.

       G
I wish I had that life-

                       D
I bet you wish you had mine.
[Refrain]
G
So, let's pour another tall one

                             D
and chop a line from here to Texas.

G
Cause I've lost another good one-

                               D
she's on the midnight train to Memphis
(Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes) [Verse 3]
D
With an old suitcase,

D
I swear I'll leave this place

             A
I'll get you back in time

                G
Can't drink you off my mind.

                          D
So, I'll see you when I'm sober.
[Refrain]
G
I been looking for some reasons,

                              D
but I ain't found one down in Texas

       G
I been changing with the seasons,

                           C  Bb  G
Walkin' a new line back to        Memphis.
