There was a lonesome cowboy, who rode his horse all day,
At night he slept in the moonlight, till he heard that midnight train,

And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky,
     C majorC    E minorEm     A minorAm  E minorEm    FF            C majorC
"I will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I will ride,

    G+G   FF        C majorC
To the city, far across the plains,
     G+G  FF         C majorC
To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes,
 G+G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
 FF         C majorC
Choo choo choobeduwee,
 G+G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,
FF         C majorC  G+G FF
On that midnight train"

   C majorC          FF   C majorC        FF
And then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar,
  C majorC              FF        G+G        FF
A augmentedA pretty girl slid over nice and easy, "boy your money won't go far."

   C majorC           FF        C majorC         FF
She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight,
    C majorC   E minorEm    A minorAm E minorEm    FF          C majorC
And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless night,

     G+G   FF        C majorC
In that city, far across the plains,
     G+G       FF          C majorC
In that city, he could hear that midnight train, down the line,
 G+G
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa,

He could hear that midnight train

And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay,
   C majorC          FF      G+G      FF
His horses they're still waiting, for he is gone away,

  C majorC              FF       C majorC        FF
Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill
     C majorC   E minorEm      A minorAm E minorEm     FF        C majorC
All you cowboys, take it easy,  there's no grass there at all,

     G+G   FF        C majorC
In that city, far across the plains,
     G+G         FF          C majorC
In that city, you'd better miss that midnight train, here it comes
