Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
The distant echo (D major) (A minor)
Of faraway voices boarding
faraway (G major) trains (A minor)
To take them home (D major) to (A minor)
The ones that they love and who
love them forever (G major) (A minor)
The glazed, dirty (D major) steps (A minor)
Repeat my own (D major) and reflect
my (G major) thoughts (A minor)
Cold and uninviting, (D major)
(G major) (A minor) partially na (D major) ked
Except for (A minor) toffee (G major) wrap (B minor) pers
and this morning's pa (D major) pers
(C major) Mr. Jones got (A minor) run (D major) down
(G major) Headlines of death and sorrow,
(B minor) they tell of (D major) tomorrow
Madmen (C major) on the rampage (D major)
(A minor) And I'm (G major) down in the tube (B minor) sta (G major) tion at midnight, (B minor)
(D major) oh

Interlude 1
(C major) (D major) (A minor)
Verse 2
I fumble for change, (D major)
(A minor) and pull out the Queen
Smil (G major) ing, beguiling (A minor)
I put in the money and pull out a (D major) plum (A minor)
Be (G major) hind me (A minor)
Whispers in the shad (D major) ows, (A minor)
gruff blazing (D major) voices
(G major) Hating, waiting (A minor)
"Hey boy" they shout,
(D major) (A minor) "Have you got any (D major) money?"
And (D minor) I say, (A minor) (G major) "I've a little
(B minor) money and a takeaway (D major) curry
I'm (C major) on my way home to (D major) my wife
She'll be (G major) lining up the cutlery,
(B minor) you know she's expecting (D major) me
(C major) Polishing the glasses (A minor) and
(D major) pulling out the (A minor) cork"
I'm (G major) down in the tube sta (B minor) tion at midnight,
oh (D major)
Interlude 2
(C major) (D major) (A minor)
Verse 3
I first felt a (D major) fist, (A minor) and then a kick
I could now smell (G major) their breath (A minor)
They smelt of pubs,
and wormwood scrubs
And too many right (G major) wing meetings (A minor)
My life swam around (D major) (A minor) me
It took a look and drowned (D major) me in
its own ex (G major) istence (A minor)
The smell of (D major) brown leather (A minor)
It blended in with the weather (D major)
Filled my (A minor) (G major) eyes, ears, nose and mouth,
it (B minor) blocked all my senses
Couldn't (C major) see, hear, speak any longer (D major)
I'm (G major) down in the tube sta (B minor) tion at midnight,
oh (D major) (C major) (A minor) (D major)
I said I was (G major) down in the tube (B minor) station at midnight,
Interlude 3
oh
(C major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor) (G major)
(A minor)
Verse 4
The last (G major) thing that I saw
as I lay (B minor) there on the floor
Was "Je (C major) sus saves" painted
by an (D major) atheist nutter
And a (G major) British rail poster read
(B minor) "Have an away day,
(C major) a cheap holiday, (D major) do it today"
I (G major) glanced back on my life,
and (B minor) thought about my wife
'Cause (C major) they took the keys,
and (D major) she'll think it's me
I'm (G major) down in the tube station
at (B minor) midnight
The wine (C major) will be flat and the
(D major) curry's gone cold
I'm (G major) down in the tube station at midnight, (B minor)
oh (C major) (D major)
Don't want (G major) (B minor) (C major) (D major) to go (G major) down in
a tube station at mid (B minor) night, oh (C major) (D major)
Don't want to go (G major) down in a tube station at midnight, (B minor)
oh (C major) (D major)
Don't want to go down (G major) in a tube station at midnight, (B minor)
oh (C major) (D major)
Don't want to go down (G major) in
a tube station at midnight, (B minor) oh
