[Verse 1]
A E F#m E
When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night
D A Bm
And the robin he sleeps on the wing
A E F#m E
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
D A Bm
And the city's golden lights shining on
[Chorus]
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
It takes us all the black train
A Bm A
Take me home black train
[Verse 2]
A E F#m E
And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass
D A Bm
And the streets that I walk are all tamed
A E F#m E
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
D A Bm
And the city's golden lights shining on
[Chorus x 2, in between the 2 choruses instrumental section: A E F#m E D A Bm]
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
It takes us all the black train
A Bm A
Take me home black train
[Verse 3]
A E F#m E
And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow
D A Bm
'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined
A E F#m E
And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs
D A Bm
And the candles they call out my name
[Chorus, extended]
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
It takes us all the black train
A Bm C#m
Ride the long black train
A Bm C#m
It takes us all the black train
A Bm A
Take me home black train
