Midnight Train To Memphis by Kid Rock
Tune down 1/2 step, EbAbDbGbBbeb
[Verse 1]
DI was hiding from the sun once again,
DI was running from the time my friend,
I've Alost another war.
So, I Gpoured one more,
and went home drunk Dagain.
DShe was up when the key hit the lock,
Dand the clock looked at me just like
the Adevil in disguise.
I saw it Gin her eyes-
she'd be gone before the Devenin'.
[Refrain]
GSo, I poured another strong one
and chopped a line from here to DTexas.
GCause I've lost another good one -
she's on the midnight train to DMemphis.
[Verse 2]
DWith a brand new start,
DI swore I'd love from the heart,
I meant to Achange my ways.
But I've seen Gbetter days,
than the one's that's here this Dmornin'.
DWith a wife and kids at home
Dwith a job somewhere
on some Aassembly line.
I wish GI had that life-
I bet you wish you had Dmine.
[Refrain]
GSo, let's pour another tall one
and chop a line from here to DTexas.
GCause I've lost another good one-
she's on the midnight train to DMemphis
(Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes)
[Verse 3]
DWith an old suitcase,
DI swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you Aback in time
Can't drink you Goff my mind.
So, I'll see you when I'm Dsober.
[Refrain]
GI been looking for some reasons,
but I ain't found one down in DTexas
I been Gchanging with the seasons,
Walkin' a new line back to    C      Bb  GMemphis.
(Not 100% sure of ending - make up your own if you don't like the walkdown.)

Midnight Train To Memphis by Kid Rock

Tune down 1/2 step, EbAbDbGbBbeb

[Verse 1]

I was hiding from the sun once again,

I was running from the time my friend,

I've lost another war.

So, I poured one more,

and went home drunk again.

She was up when the key hit the lock,

and the clock looked at me just like

the devil in disguise.

I saw it in her eyes-

she'd be gone before the evenin'.

[Refrain]

So, I poured another strong one

and chopped a line from here to Texas.

Cause I've lost another good one -

she's on the midnight train to Memphis.

[Verse 2]

With a brand new start,

I swore I'd love from the heart,

I meant to change my ways.

But I've seen better days,

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

With a wife and kids at home

with a job somewhere

on some assembly line.

I wish I had that life-

I bet you wish you had mine.

[Refrain]

So, let's pour another tall one

and chop a line from here to Texas.

Cause I've lost another good one-

she's on the midnight train to Memphis

(Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes)

[Verse 3]

With an old suitcase,

I swear I'll leave this place

I'll get you back in time

Can't drink you off my mind.

So, I'll see you when I'm sober.

[Refrain]

I been looking for some reasons,

but I ain't found one down in Texas

I been changing with the seasons,

C Bb G

Walkin' a new line back to Memphis.
