Intro: E A E G6 A7 E Bb (Repeat)
E7 E G6 A7 E
Well judge looked down gave me forty days,
A7 E G6 A7 E
Instead of the fine that I could not pay,
G6 E G6 A7 E
Said walk right you’ll soon be home,
A7 E G6 A7 E
Cross the line you’ll be on your own.
(Chorus)
G6 D E G6 A7 E
Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences,
A B
Forty nights to sit and listen,
A E G6 A7 E
To the midnight train to Memphis.
Break: Bdim7/A E G6 A7 E D6 A7 E G6 A7 E G6 A7 E
Dm6 Em E G6 A7 E
When that whistle blows when the sun comes up,
A E E G6 A7 E
Hit the floor keep your big mouth shut,
G6 Dm6 E G6 A7 E
Eat your breakfast on the ground,
E E G6 A7 E
Work like hell till the sun goes down.
(Chorus)
G6 D E G6 A7 E
Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences,

Forty nights to sit and listen,
A E G6 A7 E
To the midnight train to Memphis.

E Bm7 E G6 A7 E
Well now time for the jury, time for the judge,
A7 E G6 A7 E
Twenty more to forget my grudge,
G6 Gm E G6 A7 E
When I get to thirty-nine,
A E G6 A7 E
That’s the longest day in a prisoner’s mind.
(Chorus)
G6 D E G6 A7 E
Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences,
G6 B
Forty nights to sit and listen,
A E G6 A7 E
To the midnight train to Memphis.
A E G6 A7 E
To the midnight train to Memphis.
A E G6 A7 E Em7 E
To the midnight train to Memphis.
