[INTRO]
[G] Lookx at that headlight shining throug [Em] hxxx the rain
[C] Itx must be that old Santa Fe fr [D] eightx train [N.C.]
[VERSE 1]
[G] Yeah,x I’m standing on Salteo Tile on an [Em] oldx adobe porch
Acro[C] ssx the street the Baptist church, God’s own neon [G] torchx
With my baby sleeping safe inside, I’m the s[G] hadowx she’s the light.
Now he[C] rex comes the sound of the S [D] antax Fe at mi [G] dnight.x
[VERSE 2]
[G] Babyx wakes up and calls to me: "What is [Em] xxxx that lonesome sound?
[C] Itx echoes off the mountains out near the [G] lightsx of town.”
And I say, "Hush now, I come to you an[G] holdx you oh so tight
And rock[C] xxx you to the sound of the S [D] antax Fe at m [G] idnight.”x
[CHORUS]
[C] Blowingx through those cotton fields n [G] earx Cana’tior river breaks
[Em] pastx the shanty towns of o [G] ldx Juarez,
The ea[C] glex and the s [D] nakex
[C] Blowinx across West Texas [D] rattlin'x out of s [Em] ightx
The[C] musicx of the [D] Santax Fe at [G] midnight,x
Making[Em] lovex to the sound of the S [D] antax Fe at m [G] idnight.x
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
[C] xxx [D] xxx [G] xxx [Em] xxxx [D] xxx [G] xxx
[VERSE 3]
Well l[G] ookx where we have ended up on the e [Em] dgex of the Great South West
Sta[C] rin’x at those restless trees along the water d [G] itchx
And up the Street the Rio Grande like E[G] gypt’sx old Blue Nile
With the memory of the e[C] arlyx ones who r [D] estedx here a w [G] hile.x
[VERSE 4]
But now the freight t[G] rainsx and the long haul trucks, t [Em] hey’rex passin’ through
They d[C] on’tx have the urge to wink at the l [G] ikesx of me and you
It’s all just diesel smoke, iron rail and a[G] runningx string of lights
The m[C] usicx of the S [D] antax Fe at m [G] idnight.x
[CHORUS]
[C] Blowingx through those cotton fields [G] nearx Cana’tior river breaks
[Em] pastx the shanty towns of o [G] ldx Juarez,
The e[C] aglex and the s [D] nakex
[C] Blowinx across West Texas ra [D] ttlin'x out of si [Em] ghtx
The m[C] usicx of the Sa [D] ntax Fe at m [G] idnight,x
Making l[Em] ovex to the sound of the S [D] antax Fe at m [G] idnight.x
