Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][C][D][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]
Train [G]I

[Verse 1]
[C]ride don't be slow
If [G]your [C]whistle can blow
Fif[G]teen [C]miles down the track
Tell [G]them [C]I'm coming back
Count[G]ing poles [D]counting sheep
[G]Don't be [D]slo[G]w I won[D]'t weep
[G]If [D]your [C]wheels on the line
Were to put me on time
Just [G]a year

[Verse 2]
[C]to the day
Since [G]I w[C]ent upon my way
To seek my fortune and fame
Be [G]a s[C]tar change my name
And [G]that's it [D]more or [G]less
Til [D]this [B]midnight express
I know [Em]I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
She'll [D]just [C]go marry Jack
So [D]there's [Dsus4]no turnin[D]g back
[Dsus4]And it's [D]25 to[C] midnight
and fifteen miles of track

[Verse 3]
Band I [C]had got a break
Just [G]one [C]chance we had to take
Told my girl I'd be back
Left [G]her [C]with my friend Jack
New York [Dsus4]City for [G]a spell[D][G]
Things [D]didn't [G]turn out so [D]well
[G]Every [D]div[C]e that we played
We [G]were [C]lucky we got paid
[G]Mr Train

[Verse 4]
[C]driver please
If [G]your [C]speed you increase
Every cent I have now
Will [G]be [C]yours this I vow
And [G]that's it more or less
Til [D]this [B]midnight express
I know [Em]I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
[D]She'll just [C]go marry Jack
So there's [Dsus4]no turnin[D]g back
[G]And [D]it's [C]25 to midnight
[G]and[C] fifteen miles of track

[Verse 5]
We called ourselves [C]the Latino Lovers
[D]Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers
[C]I didn't think I could sink this low
[D]When drugs and booze ate all my dough
[A]This isn't how it was meant to be
There's no such thing as
a meal that's free
[Dsus4]If I was ever to get out alive[D]
I have to get home on time
[G]Train [C]I ride

[Verse 6]
don't be slow
If [G]your [C]whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell [G]them [C]I'm coming back
And [G]that's it more or [D]less[G]
Til [D]this [B]midnight express
I know [Em]I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
[D]She'll just [C]go marry Jack
So [D]there's no [Dsus4]turning b[D]ack
And [C]it's 25 to [G]midnight and
[C]fifteen miles of [G]track
[C]And it's 25 to midnight
[G]and fif[C]teen miles of [G]track
