Verse 1
Midnight train (C sharp major) roll (C major) on
Mid (C sharp major) night train
Verse 2
(D major) roll (C major) on
Verse 3
(C major)
Clear them track (G major) s and
(D major) keep that whistle (G major) blowin'
Take a stranger on to (D major) Santa Fe
It (G major) seems like romance is danger
Fol (B flat major) low this here tall dark stranger
(D major) All along the way
Well a train was runnin'
through the night
Headed south to Santa Fe
And in a (C major) fancy car with a private bar
And a personal ballet
There was a (G major) bunch of cold eyed men
A -sittin' at (B flat major) a poker table
Bettin' (D major) hot steaks all around
Old Louisiana
Lou had a knife in his shoe,
was dealing a hand of cards.
An old stack (C major) of Lee Crockett
had a gun in his pocket,
was sweating and bentin' hard.
(G major) And over in the corner
this Mexican guy with (B flat major) two gold teeth
and a (D major) patch on his eye
took a long, hard look around.
And then a door flew open,
a stranger walked in, said,
don't y get excited.
I know (C major) this (G major) here's a private (C major) game,
and I know I won't (G major) invite it.
But I got a (D major) roll to (G major) choke a mule, (D major)
I'm just about (B flat major) a big enough fool
(D major) to lay it all right down.
And (G major) everybody nodded
as the stranger (D major) took his seat
He knew (G major) this bunch of cutthroats
would be (D major) mighty hard to beat
And the (G major) stranger knew that the toughest
two by far (D major) from where he sat
Was a (C major) punk benefitter from
South Alabama
and a (D major) dude in a black (A flat major) felt hat
Then (D major) I'd roll (C major) on
Then I'd (C sharp major) train roll (D major) on (C major)
Well, (G major) put them tracks and keep
that whistle blowin'
Take this stranger on to Santa Fe (C sharp major) (D major)
It (G major) seems like romance and danger
fol (A major) low this (B flat major) here
Tall, dark (A major) stranger (D major) all (C sharp major)
(D major) along (C sharp major) (D major) the way
Well, a stranger sat down, he looked around
(A major) At all (D major) them evil faces, and to (C major) top that
The feller drew a pair of queens,
with the stranger he drew aces
And he (G major) kept on raisin'
and pushin' his luck
He (B flat major) kep t on winnin' like a runaway truck (D major)
He was givin' them a beat (C sharp major)
(D major) And mistakes got higher
in the Chinese kite
The stranger kept gettin' hot
Till every (C major) cent (D major) everybody (C major) had
Was lyin' out in the pot
An (D major) d then the (G major) stranger
threw down a royal flush
(D major) Somebody (A major) said, (B flat major) hey man,
that's enough, (D major) friend
(C sharp major) I think you better cheat
And then the stranger
picked the money up
And said, boys, (D major) I better run
And then the pot (C major) belly
better pull the razor out
And somebody pulled a gun
They (G major) said, you may think
you a sly old fox,
you're (A major) gonna leave (D major) here in a long (B flat major) fine (D major) box,
if (C sharp major) you don't leave that
money (D major) alone. (C sharp major) (D major)
Just about then, the lights went out
and they all started fussin'.
Then the lights came on,
the stranger was gone,
they all started cussin'.
And they (G major) searched that
train from front to rear,
that stranger (D major) he (B flat major) done disappeared,
(D major) and all their money was gone.
(G major) When the train pulled into station
with the whistle (D major) blowin' loud,
(G major) a telegram was waitin'
from the stranger (D major) for the crowd.
Said, (G major) thank you for the money,
boys,
and don't (D major) feel too outdone
Cause it (C major) takes a dog to know a dog,
I'm a (A major) howlin' son of a gun
Midnight train, (D major) (C sharp major) (D major) (C sharp major) (D major) roll (C major) on
Midnight (D major) train, (C sharp major) (D major) roll (C major) on
Clear them track (G major) s
and keep that whistle blowin'
Take this stranger on to (D major) Santa Fe (C sharp major) (D major)
It (G major) seems like (D major) romance (G major) and danger
fol (B flat major) low this here tall,
dark stranger (D major) all the long way.
Oh, (C sharp major) he's (D major) long gone.
