Midnight Train To Memphis

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 Devenin'.

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

Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes
Last verse - guitar with moderate distortion

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...)
