Chords with lyrics
THE JAM: DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT
Words and music by Paul Weller
A minorAm D7D7
The distant echo
A minorAm D7D7 Gmaj7Gmaj7
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
A minorAm D7D7
To take them home to
A minorAm D7D7 Gmaj7Gmaj7
The ones that they love and who love them forever
A minorAm D7D7
The glazed, dirty _ steps
A minorAm D7D7 Gmaj7Gmaj7
Repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
A minorAm D7D7 A minorAm D7D7
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
G+G B minorBm
Except for toffee wrappers and this mornings papers
C majorC D MajorD
Mr Jones got run down
G+G B minorBm
Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow
C majorC D MajorD
Madmen on the rampage
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
A minorAm D7D7
I fumble for change
A minorAm D7D7 Gmaj7Gmaj7
And pull out the queen, smiling, beguiling
A minorAm D7D7
I put in the money
A minorAm D7D7 Gmaj7Gmaj7
And pull out a plumb behind me
A minorAm D7D7
Whispers in the shadows
A minorAm D7D7 Gmaj7Gmaj7
Gruff blazing voices, hating, waiting
A minorAm D7D7 A minorAm D7D7
?Hey boy? they shout, ?have you got any money?
G+G B minorBm
And I said, ?I?ve a little money and a take away curry.
C majorC D MajorD
I?m on my way home to my wife
G+G B minorBm
She?ll be lining up the cutlery, you know she?s expecting me,
C majorC D MajorD
Polishing the glasses and out the cork?.
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
I first felt a fist
And then a kick, I could now smell their breath,
They smelt of pubs
And Wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings.
My life swan around me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather, it blended in with the weather,
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth,
It blocked my senses
Couldn?t see, hear, speak any longer.
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
The last thing I saw as I lay there on the floor
Was ?Jesus saves? painted by an atheist nutter
And a British rail poster read ? have an awayday a cheap holiday, do it today?
I glanced back on my life and thought about my wife
Cause they took the keys and she?ll think its me
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
The wine will be flat and the curry?s gone cold
I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
Don?t wanna go
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

This is a great song from a great band, I cant believe that there
isn?t that many Jam songs on here.
It?s my goal to let everyone know how great they are.
Theres more where this came from.
