Am              C
Worn out vacant motel sign
G               F
Run down bedroom 209
Am                 C                 G
Tonight that’s where I’ll try to find Some rest
Am             C
Whiskey bottle on the floor
G              F
King James Bible from the drawer
Am             C                 G
Neither won but lord they’ve done their best
Am                  F
They can’t stop the thought of you
Am                   F
Like a freight train passing through
(Chorus)
C
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
F
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
G                         F                      C
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
C
The wheels are turning in my soul
F
Her memory’s burning black as coal
G                          F                       C
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
G
All night long
Am
Til it’s dawn
          F
Then she’s gone
(verse 2)
Am               C
Heatwaves on the rolling hills
G                   F
Rise like ghosts of love that’s dead
Am                  C            G
Haunt this lonesome highway of regret
Am                C
Can’t slow down I can’t look back
G                      F
Until this train runs out of track
Am                    C             G
You can’t outrun that one you can’t forget
Am                           F
It’s like I’m frozen in this dream
Am                 F
While she’s slowly gaining speed
(Chorus) X2 (Instrumental in between)
C
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
F
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
G                         F                      C
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
C
The wheels are turning in my soul
F
Her memory’s burning black as coal
G                          F                       C
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
G
All night long
Am
Til it’s dawn
          F
Then she’s gone
