Intro: D-G-A-D

D            G         A                  D
Long train rumbles low   in the distance hear it blow
G            A                 D-A-D
  Don't engineers know I miss you
              G          A              D
And they're reminding me   how lonely nights can be
           G       A              D
When it's midnight   me and the blues
 
             G              A             D
Car's going down the street   no traffic jams to meet
G                A                       D    A-D
  This time of night they drive right through
             G            A                 D
And they all go right by    and they don't know I cry
           G       A              D
When it's midnight   me and the blues
 
G                           D
  Midnight's the loneliest time in the world
A                       D
  Me I'm the loneliest guy with no girl
G                            D         Bm
  These blues began when it ended with you
          G       A             D
Now it's midnight   me and the blues

Inst: G-A-A-D 

D                  G   A              D
Jet plane low overhead   rumbles my lonely bed
G               A               D-A-D
  Crumbles my lovely dreams of you
                 G               A                  D
They don't care that you're gone   or if midnight lasts till dawn
           G        A              D
When it's midnight    me and the blues
 
G                           D
  Midnight's the loneliest time in the world
A                       D
  Me I'm the loneliest guy with no girl
G                            D         Bm
  These blues began when it ended with you
          G       A             D
Now it's midnight   me and the blues

 G       A             D
Midnight   me and the blues
