Watch the moon come down     [Top]  [Back to Index]

G                                     C
In this dirty town there's nothing going for me
G                                 C
No shows going down that I would want to see
G                          Em    C
Nothing but the midnight tra----in
G                          C
In this shady street on a top floor flat
G                                     C
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
G                               Em    C
And as the night falls on this to-----wn

CHORUS
G    D  Em    D       C
I'm going to watch the moon  come   down
G    D   Em   D    C
Watch the moon come down
G    D  Em    D     C
I'm gonna Watch the moon come down
G   D  Em  D
Watch it come down

G                            C
As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
G                                      C
Splashing through the gutters and the sand
G                                        C
The birds move in the rafters Hearing echoes of the laughter
G                                       C
From children in a playground close at hand

D                         Bm
And hands inside my pockets, Staring at the light sockets
C                           D
Everyone's been blown out Everyone's been thrown out
C
I said baby baby baby baby baby

REPEAT CHORUS

G                                   C
If I stay out all night Test the midnight train's headlights
G                                       C
Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
G                               C
Now who've I got to let down, Tell me somebody with their head down
G                                 C          D                 Bm
Bargin' into solid ground in the end  In the end,  yeah in the end
C                  D
Waitin for the end,  arrive to the end,  hey hey (guitar solo)

C
I said baby baby baby baby baby
G    D  Em    D     C
Watch the moon come down (three times)
G    D  Em    D     C
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down
G    D  Em    D     C
Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down Like a midnight train uh huh
G                                  C
Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down watch it come down
G                                      C
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train  (fade)
