When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night,
     C majorC    G/BG/B      A minorAm
And the robin, he sleeps on the wing,
     G+G     D/F#D/F#     E minorEm    Em7/D
Hear the toll of the bell, ringing out all is well,
     C majorC      G/BG/B      A minorAm
And the city's golden light's shining on!

G+G    D/F#D/F#      E minorEm    Em7/D
And the shadows we pass, turns my soul into glass,
     C majorC      G/BG/B      A minorAm
And the streets that I walk are all tamed,
     G+G     D/F#D/F#     E minorEm    Em7/D

G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minorEm      Em7/D
And the briar, and the rose, in the churchyard they grow,
        C majorC   G/BG/B       A minorAm
'Neath the clocktower tall, all en - twined,
     G+G   D/F#D/F#       E minorEm     Em7/D
And the raven he flies 'round the oak, as she sighs,
     C majorC     G/BG/B     A minorAm
And the candles they call out my name...

G+G  A minorAm  B minorBm   B minorBm A minorAm  G+G  A minorAm  B minorBm
...to ride the long black train, ride the long black train,
 B minorBm  A minorAm G+G  A minorAm  B minorBm   B minorBm A minorAm  G+G  A minorAm   G+G
Takes us all, black train, take me home, black train!
