CAPO: 1st Fret
[INTRO]
[G] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D]
[VERSE 1]
I climbed [G]out my bedroom window
[Em]Shimmied down the tree
Under [C]cover of the darkness
I [D]crept on down the street
She is [G]waiting for my signal
Hope her [Em]daddy doesn't hear
When she [C]scrambles down the trellis
And we just [D]up and disappear
[VERSE 2]
I'll be [B7]waiting 'neath a streetlight all a[C]lone
Like a dog waits for a [G]bone
Honey, please don't let me [D]down
I'm [Bm]only trying to make you under[C]stand
Come on baby, take my [Am]hand
Only love and love a[D]lone's gonna save us now
[VERSE 3]
Oh [G]Angie, can't you hear that whistle [C]blow
Pack your bags it's time to [G]go
Don't you think it's time we [D]made our getaway
We'll [G]ride the rails 'til morning comes [C]around
Wake up in some other [G]town
Where no[D]body knows our [Em]names
Run a[C]way with me and [D]ride the midnight [G]train [C] [D]
[INTERLUDE]
[G] [C] [D]
[VERSE 4]
We dis[G]covered long ago
This town ain't [Em]big enough for two
Who re[C]fuse to dream in black and white
Like [D]all the others do
I want to [G]see those colours shine
Like in the [Em]stories I've been told
Want to [C]follow that old rainbow
'Til we [D]find that pot of gold
[VERSE 5]
Oh [B7]Angie, don't you listen when they [C7]tell you I'm insane
They're only [G]trying to keep your heart up on the [D]fence
'Cause the [Bm]truth is it's the other way a[C]round
And that's the trouble with this [Am]town
I'm the only one who's [D]talking any sense
[VERSE 6]
Oh [G]Angie, can't you hear the engines [C]whine
She's rumbling down the [G]line
Don't you think it's time we [D]made our getaway
We'll [G]ride the rails 'til morning comes [C]around
Wake up in some other [G]town
Where no[D]body knows our [Em]names
Run a[C]way with me and [D]ride the midnight [F]train [G]

[VERSE 7]
Oh [G]Angie, can't you hear the lonesome [C]sound
Nothing else can stop us [G]now
Don't you think it's time we [D]made our getaway
We'll [G]ride the rails 'til morning comes [C]around
Wake up in some other [G]town
Where no[D]body knows our [Em]names
Run a[C]way with me and [D]ride
Run a[Em]way with me to[Bm]night
Run a[C]way with me and [D]ride the midnight [G]train
