[Intro] A E F#m E D A Bm [Verse 1]
A                    E            F#m         E
When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night

        D        A             Bm
And the robin he sleeps on the wing

         A           E           F#m         E
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well

       D               A        Bm
And the city's golden lights shining on
[Chorus]
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train

         A    Bm     A
Take me home black train
[Verse 2]
A                   E            F#m       E
And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass

        D              A             Bm
And the streets that I walk are all tamed

         A           E           F#m         E
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well

        D              A       Bm
And the city's golden lights shining on
[Chorus x 2, in between the 2 choruses instrumental section: A E F#m E D A Bm]
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train

         A    Bm     A
Take me home black train
[Verse 3]
A                     E           F#m             E
And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow

           D           A        Bm
'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined

        A        E               F#m        E
And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs

         D            A          Bm
And the candles they call out my name
[Chorus, extended]
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train

         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train

             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train

         A    Bm     A
Take me home black train
