Midnight Train John Stewart

(C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2)
(C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
I'm going (F)down to the depot,
Yeah, the Midnight train is on the (C)track. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
I'm going (F)down to the depot,
And the Midnight train is on the (C)track. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
They're (G)bringing out the soldiers,
(F) Some are never coming (C)back. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)

I'm going (F)down to the depot,
Midnight train is almost (C)there. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
I'm going (F)down to the depot,
El Presidente doesn't (C)care. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
Presi(G)dente has two daughters,
(F) You will never find them (C)there. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)

I'm going (F)down to the depot,
And the Midnight train is right on (C)time. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
I'm going (F)down to the depot,
And the Midnight train is right on (C)time. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
And (G)when I get my baby,
(F) We'll be moving down the (C)line. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
- Instrumental verse -

Yeah, we're (F)going to Savannah,
Right on down to the Caro(C)line. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
Yeah, we're (F)going to Savannah,
Right on through to the Caro(C)line. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
And (G)when I'm with my baby,
(F) Oh, these are the happy (C)times. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)

Yeah, they (F)often called me Speedo,
But my real name is-a Mr. (C)Earl. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
Yeah, they (F)often called me Speedo,
But my real name was-a Mr. (C)Earl. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
Yeah, and (G)when I told my baby,
She said,(F) "Who the hell is Mr. (C)Earl?" (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)

I'm going (F)down to the depot,
Yeah, the Midnight train is on the (C)track. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
Yeah, I'm (F)going to the depot,
And the Midnight train is on the (C)track. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)
They're (G)bringing out the soldiers,
(F) Some are never coming (C)back. (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C) (C6add2) (C)

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
