(verse 1) 
             D 
I've been walking these mean streets, 
        G                D 
Hard concrete beneath my feet, 
        D                               A 
Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd, 
             D 
The city's like a Christmas tree, 
              G               D  
A light for every dreamer's dream , 
         D               A7          D          
But it seems mine has finally burnt out,     
 

D           C             G   
Long Black Train take me home, 
           D                               A  
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go, 
D                                   G              D 
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong, 
D           C              D    
Long Black Train take me home,  
 
(verse 2) 
               D 
I should've known I was mistaken, 
          G                  D  
When I thought that I'd be makin, 
 D                      A 
Made for myself in babylon, 
           D 
Though I tried to do my best, 
               G               D                                   
The suits and ties are not impressed, 
                 D         A7               D          
So with what's left of my pride I'll carry on, 
 

D           C             G   
Long Black Train take me home, 
           D                               A  
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go, 
D                                   G              D 
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong, 
D           C              D    
Long Black Train take me home,  
 
(bridge) 
      A                           D 
I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket, 
      Bm                G                    A 
Then climb aboard and ride you on down the track, 
   C                                 D 
I know I'm licked but it's hard to admit it, 
D                               A7 
Maybe some day you can bring me back, 

 
D           C             G   
Long Black Train take me home, 
           D                               A  
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go, 
D                                   G              D 
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong, 
D          C             G      
Long black train take me home,   
 D          A            D 
Long black train take me home,
