	        Am 
In the dark I hear the whistle, the rumble of the cars 
    F                        G 
The lonesome midnight flyer, past the late night bars 
Am                         Em 
Pulling sixty box-cars and heading through our town 
F                           G 
Tearing up the night with a long lonesome sound 


C                             Am 
It's been a long year since I thought about the train 
    F                         G 
The greyhound and the highway took me where I've been 
Am                                  Em 
Late at night I hear the sound, the humming of the rails 
    F                              G 
The lonesome midnight flyer taking high wind in her sails 


Am Here comes the midnight flyer Em Set your watches by her F G Wheels rolling, coming in on time Am Em No one pays her no mind, no one hears her crying F G 'Cept some old man bumming down the line
Am Here comes the midnight flyer, tell me how do you know? F G 'Cause I heard her long whistle moan so soft and low Am Em Wheels clicking on the rails in the stillness of the night F G The engineer's pulling cord until he gets it right C Am She's rolling through the back yards, the sleepers in the night F G On the outskirts of town, headlight burning bright Am Em And she's pulling sixty box-cars and another railroad bum F G Who heard her whistle blow and caught her on the run
Am Here comes the midnight flyer Em Set your watches by her F G Wheels rolling, coming in on time Am Em No one pays her no mind, no one hears her crying F G 'Cept some old man bumming down the line
