Intro 1

Verse 1
D
Am

The distant echo

Of faraway voices boarding
G
Am

faraway trains

To take them home to

The ones that they love and who
G
Am

love them forever
D
Am

The glazed, dirty steps
D

Repeat my own and reflect
G
Am

my thoughts
D

Cold and uninviting,
Am
D

partially naked
Am
G
Bm

Except for toffee wrappers
D

and this morning's papers
C
Am
D

Mr. Jones got run down
G

Headlines of death and sorrow,
Bm
D

they tell of tomorrow
C
Am
D
Am

Madmen on the ram page
G
Bm

And I'm down in the tube station at midnight,
D

oh
Interlude 1
C
D
Am

Verse 2
D

I fumble for change,
Am

and pull out the Queen
G
Am

Smiling, beguiling

I put in the money and pull out a plum
G
Am

Behind me
D
Am

Whispers in the shadows,
D

gruff blazing voices
G
Am

Hating, waiting
D

"Hey boy" they shout,
Am
D

"Have you got any money?"
Dm

And I say,
G
Bm
D

"I've a little money and a takeaway curry
C
D

I'm on my way home to my wife
G

She'll be lining up the cutlery,
Bm
D

you know she's expecting me
C
Am

Polishing the glasses and
D
Am
D

pulling out the cork"

I'm down in the tube station at midnight,

oh
Interlude 2
C
D
Am

Verse 3
D
Am

I first felt a fist, and then a kick
G
Am

I could now smell their breath

They smelt of pubs,

and wormwood scrubs
G
Am

And too many right wing meetings
D
Am

My life swam around me
D

It took a look and drowned me
G
Am

in its own ex istence
D
Am

The smell of brown leather
D

It blended in with the weather
Am
G

Filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth,
Bm

it blocked all my senses
C
D

Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
G
Bm

I'm down in the tube station at midnight,
D
C
Am
D

oh
Am
G
Bm

I said I was down in the tube station at midnight,
Interlude 3

oh
C
Am
G

Am

Verse 4
G
Bm

The last thing that I saw as I lay

there on the floor
C

Was "Jesus saves" painted
D

by an atheist nutter
G

And a British rail poster read
Bm

"Have an away day,
C
D

a cheap holiday, do it today"
G

I glanced back on my life,
Bm

and thought about my wife
C

'Cause they took the keys,
D

and she'll think it's me
G

I'm down in the tube station
Bm

at midnight
C

The wine will be flat and the
D

curry's gone cold
G
Bm

I'm down in the tube station at midnight,
C
D

oh
G
Bm

Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight,
C

oh
G
Bm

Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight,
C
D

oh
G
Bm

Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight,

oh
G
Bm

Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight,

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
