Eb  Gm7 Ab Bb          Eb          Gm7   Ab Bb
L.A.       proved too much for the man,
Bb      Eb Eb7 Cm      F#               Fm7    Bb
So he's leavin'   the life he's come to know,
Bb                 Eb      Gm7   Ab
He said he's goin' back to find
Bb           Eb          Gm7    Ab
Ooh, what's left of his world,
Bb            Eb    Eb7    Cm
The world he left behind
       F#   Fm7    Bb
Not so long ago.

      Eb      Gm7
He's leaving,
Ab       Bb                Eb      Gm7  Ab
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Bb       Eb    Eb7   Cm
And he's goin' back
Cm    F#               Fm7    Bb
To a simpler place and time.
Bb          Eb        Gm7
And I'll be with him
Ab       Bb                Eb       Gm7  Ab
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Bb          Eb          Cm
I'd rather live in his world
Fm7          Bb7          Eb
Than live without him in mine.

Bb        Eb     Gm7
He kept dreamin'
Ab      Bb              Eb    Gm7  Ab
That someday he'd be a star.
Bb                    Eb       Eb7  Cm
But he sure found out the hard way
F#    Fm7                     Bb
That dreams don't always come true.
       Eb             Gm7   Ab
So he pawned all his hopes
    Bb       Eb          Gm7   Ab
and he even sold his old car
Bb        Eb             Eb7   Cm
Bought a one way ticket back
F#      Fm7
To the life he once knew,
          Bb7
Oh yes he did,
                 Eb  Gm7
He said he would Be leavin
Ab       Bb                Eb      Gm7  Ab
On that midnight train to Georgia,
    Bb    Eb    Eb7  Cm
And he's goin' back
Cm    F#                Fm7
To a simpler place and time.
Bb           Eb       Gm7
And I'll be with him
Ab       Bb                Eb      Gm7  Ab
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Bb         Eb           Cm
I'd rather live in his world
Fm7         Bb7          Eb
Than live without him in mine.
      Eb   Gm7     Ab   Bb    
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
 Eb    Gm7       Ab       Bb
Gonna board the midnight train.
 Eb   Gm7  Ab    Bb

Gonna board the midnight train
