Midnight Flyer Chords

(ver. 1)
Kate Wolf
       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


CHORUS:
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


CHORUS:
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
