[Verse 1]
A D A
Well I've been all around my old home town
A E
I have searched everywhere I know
A D A
But I can't find any trace of my girl in this place
A E A
So there's nothing to do but go
[Chorus]
A D A
I'll be riding that midnight train when it's leaving
A E
And I'm going away to stay
A D A
Always wanted to know where that engine did go
A E A
Going to go where it goes today

[Verse 2]
A D A
Oh, she said she'd be true 'till the fighting was through
A E
Said she'd wait for me 'til the end
A D A
But she's proven untrue and her sweet love is through
A E A
So I'm catching that train again
[Chorus]
A D A
I'll be riding that midnight train when it's leaving
A E
And I'm going away to stay
A D A
Always wanted to know where that engine did go
A E A
Going to go where it goes today
[Fill]

[Verse 3]
A D A
Well I've seen that old train pulling out in the rain
A E
Seen it leave with the stars up above
A D A
Like a hound on the trail it carries the mail
A E A
It will take me away from that love
[Chorus]
A D A
I'll be riding that midnight train when it's leaving
A E
And I'm going away to stay
A D A
Always wanted to know where that engine did go
A E A
Going to go where it goes today
A D A
Always wanted to know where that engine did go
A E A
Going to go where it goes today
