G                                     C
In this dirty town there's nothing going for me
G                                 C         
No shows going down that I would want to see
G                          Em    C
Nothing but the midnight tra----in
G                          C          
In this shady street on a top floor flat
G                                     C        
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
G                               Em    C
And as the night falls on this to-----wn
 
CHORUS
                G    D  Em    D       C
I'm going to watch the moon  come   down
  G    D   Em   D    C
Watch the moon come down
            G    D  Em    D     C
I'm gonna Watch the moon come down
                 G   D  Em  D
Watch it come down
 
G                            C
As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
G                                      C
Splashing through the gutters and the sand
G                                        C
The birds move in the rafters Hearing echoes of the laughter
G                                       C
From children in a playground close at hand
 
     D                         Bm
And hands inside my pockets, Staring at the light sockets
C                           D
Everyone's been blown out Everyone's been thrown out
         C
I said baby baby baby baby baby 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
G                                   C
If I stay out all night Test the midnight train's headlights
G                                       C
Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
G                               C
Now who've I got to let down, Tell me somebody with their head down
G                                 C          D                 Bm
Bargin' into solid ground in the end  In the end,  yeah in the end
                 C                  D  
Waitin for the end,  arrive to the end,  hey hey (guitar solo)
 
         C  
I said baby baby baby baby baby 
  G    D  Em    D     C
Watch the moon come down (three times)
                   G    D  Em    D     C
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down
                    G    D  Em    D     C
Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down Like a midnight train uh huh 
        G                                  C                  
Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down watch it come down 
G                                      C
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train  (fade)
