Verse 1
(B minor) Look at that headlight
shining (G major) through the (A minor) rain
Well it (C major) must be that old
Santa
(G major) Fe freight (D major) train (G major)
I'm standing on salty old tile on
(B minor) an old adobe porch
(C major) Across the street, the
Baptist church,
God's (D major) own neon torch. (G major)
Well my baby's sleepin' safe in (B minor) side,
I'm the shadow, she's the light.
Now here (C major) comes the sound of the
(D major) Santa
Fe at (G major) midnight.
Baby wakes up and calls to me, what
(B minor) is that lonesome sound?
It (C major) echoes off the mountain,
out near the (D major) lights of (G major) town
I say, hush now,
I'll come to you, oh (B minor) de woe, so tight
And (C major) rock you to the sound of the
(D major) Santa
Fe at (G major) midnight
(C major) Blowing through those
(F major) cotton field (C major) s near the
Canateo
River (G major) breaks
Past the (E minor) shanty towns of (B minor) old
Walrath, (F major) the
Eagle and the
(D major) Snake
Blow (C major) ing across
West
Texas, (D major) rattling our home (E minor) site
The (G major) music of the
(D major) Santa
Fe at (C major) midnight
I'm making (E minor) love to the sound of the
(D major) Santa
Fe at (G major) midnight (C major) (B minor) (A minor)
(C major) (B minor) (D major)
Well, (G major) look where we have ended up
On (B minor) the edge of the great southwest
Star (C major) ing at those restless trees along
the (D major) water ditch. (G major)
And up the street the
Rio
Grande like
(B minor) Egypt's old
Blue
Nile,
With (C major) a memory of the early ones who
rested (B minor) here a (G major) while.
But now the freight trains and long -haul trucks,
(B minor) they're passing through.
And (C major) they don't have the urge to
wink at the likes of (D major) me and (G major) you
It's all just (G minor) diesel smoke, iron rail,
(G major) and a (B minor) running string of lights
The (C major) music of the
(D major) Santa
Fe at (G major) midnight
(C major) Blowing through those
(F major) cotton field (C major) s near the
Canateo
River (G major) breaks
Past the (E minor) shanty towns of (B minor) old
Juarez, the (F major) eagle and the (D major) snake
Blow (C major) ing across
West
Texas, rat (D major) tling out of (E minor) sight
The (G major) music of the
(D major) Santa
Fe at (C major) midnight
Making (E minor) love to the sound of the
(B minor) Santa
(D major) Fe at (G major) midnight (C major) (B minor)
(A minor) ...
... (C major)
(B minor) ... (D major) (G major)
...
Thank you.
