CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE 1]
Lights come up, [C]lights go down
[Dm]And I'm a [F]singer [G]in bet[Am]ween
I count my cash by the [C]dashboard light
[Dm]I hit first [F]gear and [G]leave the [Am]scene [Dm] [F] [G]

[VERSE 2]
[Am]Town to town, [C]night to night
[Dm]Big crowds or [F]small, I [G]do the [Am]show
A ten hour drive [C]for one on the stage
[Dm]It's a [F]crazy [G]life, I [Am]know

[CHORUS]
[F]Well, I love the sound of a [C]midnight train
[G]The smell of the road af[E]ter the [Am]rain
[F]A full tank, half a pack and a [C]thousand miles to go
[Dm]I race the [F]sound of the [G]whistle [Am]blow

[VERSE 3]
When I'm gone, life at [C]home goes on
[Dm]My [F]son knows [G]ten new [Am]words
He cries for me in the [C]middle of the night
[Dm]My wife [F]lets him [G]sleep with [Am]her

[CHORUS]
[F]And I love the sound of a [C]midnight train
[G]The smell of the road af[E]ter the [Am]rain
[F]A full tank, half a pack and a [C]thousand miles to go
[Dm]I race the [F]sound of the [G]whistle [Am]blow

[VERSE 4]
If you got the dough, [C]that's where I go
[Dm]Sometimes I [F]feel [G]like a [Am]whore
But a gig's a gig, and I [C]can't complain
[Dm]'Til I don't [F]get gigs [G]any[Am]more

[CHORUS]
[F]And I love the sound of a [C]midnight train
[G]The smell of the road af[E]ter the [Am]rain
[F]A full tank, half a pack and a [C]thousand miles to go
[Dm]I race the [F]sound of the [G]whistle [Am]blow
[Dm]I race the [F]sound of the [G]whistle [Am]blow
