Riding On That Midnight Train

Ricky Skaggs

Capo 4

         G                                               C              G

No matter what I say or do, you're never satisfied

     G                                                    D                                G

I tried and tried so many times, I'm leavin' you now, good-bye

 

<CHORUS>

                 G                                     G7          C            C7         G

I'm riding on that midnight train, My head's a-hanging low

                      G                                                   D               G

These awful blues will follow me, Wherever I may go

 

   G                                                   C                 G

Why on earth was I ever born, I'll never understand

       G                                                          D                         G

To fall in love with a woman like you, in love with another man

 

<CHORUS>

 

         G                                                      C                         G

You broke a heart that trusted you, why wasn’t it made of stone

        G                                                 D                   G

I’m left in a world black as night, yet I must travel on

 

<CHORUS>
