G5                                  C5
In this dirty town there's nothing going for me
G5                                C5
No shows going down that I would want to see
G5                        E5     C5
Nothing but the midnight tra----in
G5                         C5          
In this shady street on a top floor flat
G5                            C5        
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
G5                              E5     C5
And as the night falls on this to-----wn

CHORUS
             G5     D5   E5   D5    C5  
I'm going to watch the moon come down
G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
Watch the moon come down
          G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
I'm gonna Watch the moon come down
G5     D5  E5   D5
Watch it come down

G5                           C5
As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
G5                             C5
Splashing through the gutters and the sand
G5                             C5
The birds move in the rafters Hearing echoes of the laughter
G5                             C5
From children in a playground close at hand

D5 B5
And hands inside my pockets, Staring at the light sockets
C5 D5
Everyone's been blown out Everyone's been thrown out
C5
I said baby baby baby baby baby 

REPEAT CHORUS

G5                       C5
If I stay out all night Test the midnight train's headlights
G5                              C5
Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
G5 
Now who've I got to let down, Tell me somebody with their head down
G5                         C5          D5            B5
Bargin' into solid ground in the end In the end, yeah in the end
C5                   D5 
Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)

C5 
I said baby baby baby baby baby 
G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
Watch the moon come down (three times)
                 G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down
                  G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down Like a midnight train uh huh 
                   G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down watch it come down 
                 G5     D5   E5   D5    C5
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train (fade)
