Midnight Train To Memphis by Kid Rock
Tune down 1/2 step, EbAbDbGbBbeb
Verse 1:
[[D]] I was hiding from the sun once again,
[[D]] I was running from the time my friend,
I've [[A]] lost another war.
So, I [[G]] poured one more,
and went home drunk [[D]] again.
[[D]] She was up when the key hit the lock,
[[D]] and the clock looked at me just like
the [[A]] devil in disguise.
I saw it [[G]] in her eyes-
she'd be gone before the [[D]]evenin'.
Refrain:
[[G]] So, I poured another strong one
and chopped a line from here to [[D]] Texas.
[[G]] Cause I've lost another good one -
she's on the midnight train to [[D]] Memphis.
Verse 2:
[[D]] With a brand new start,
[[D]] I swore I'd love from the heart,
I meant to [[A]] change my ways.
But I've seen [[G]] better days,
than the one's that's here this [[D]] mornin'.
[[D]] With a wife and kids at home
[[D]] with a job some where
on some [[A]] assembly line.
I wish [[G]] I had that life-
I bet you wish you had [[D]] mine.
Refrain:
[[G]] So, let's pour another tall one
and chop a line from here to [[D]] Texas.
[[G]] Cause I've lost another good one-
she's on the midnight train to [[D]] Memphis

Verse 3:
[[D]] With an old suitcase,
[[D]] I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you [[A]] back in time
Can't drink you [[G]] off my mind.
So, I'll see you when I'm [[D]] sober.
Refrain:
[[G]] I been looking for some reasons,
but I ain't found one down in [[D]] Texas
I been [[G]] changing with the seasons,
Walkin’ a new line back to [[C]] [[A#]] [[G]] Memphis.
(Not 100% sure of ending - make up your own if you don't like the walkdown - it'll probably be right & sound better anyway...)
