Mark Erelli - Midnight Train
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
G C D G C D G C D G C D
[Verse 1]
G
I climbed out my bedroom window
Em
Shimmied down the tree
C
Under cover of the darkness
D
I crept on down the street
G
She is waiting for my signal
Em
Hope her daddy doesn't hear
C
When she scrambles down the trellis
D
And we just up and disappear
[Verse 2]
B7 C
I'll be waiting 'neath a streetlight all alone
G
Like a dog waits for a bone
D
Honey, please don't let me down
Bm C
I'm only trying to make you understand
Am
Come on baby, take my hand
D
Only love and love alone's gonna save us now
[Verse 3]
G C
Oh Angie, can't you hear that whistle blow
G
Pack your bags it's time to go
D
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
G C
We'll ride the rails 'til morning comes around
G
Wake up in some other town
D Em
Where nobody knows our names
C D G C D
Run away with me and ride the midnight train
[Interlude]
G C D
[Verse 4]
G
We discovered long ago
Em
This town ain't big enough for two
C
Who refuse to dream in black and white
D
Like all the others do
G
I want to see those colours shine
Em
Like in the stories I've been told
C
Want to follow that old rainbow
D
'Til we find that pot of gold
[Verse 5]
B7 C7
Oh Angie, don't you listen when they tell you I'm insane
G D
They're only trying to keep your heart up on the fence
Bm C
'Cause the truth is it's the other way around
Am
And that's the trouble with this town
D
I'm the only one who's talking any sense
[Verse 6]
G C
Oh Angie, can't you hear the engines whine
G
She's rumbling down the line
D
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
G C
We'll ride the rails 'til morning comes around
G
Wake up in some other town
D Em
Where nobody knows our names
C D F G
Run away with me and ride the midnight train
[Instrumental]
F G F G F C D
[Verse 7]
G C
Oh Angie, can't you hear the lonesome sound
G
Nothing else can stop us now
D
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
G C
We'll ride the rails 'til morning comes around
G
Wake up in some other town
D Em
Where nobody knows our names
C D
Run away with me and ride
Em Bm
Run away with me tonight
C D G
Run away with me and ride the midnight train
