Just a (B)small town girl,

She took the (B)mid night train go in’ (G#m)an y where.

Just a (B)cit y boy,

He took the (B)mid night train go in’ (G#m)an y where.

A sing er in a (B)smok y room.

The smell of wine and (A)cheap per fume.

For a smile they can (B)share the night.

It goes (G#m)on and on and on and on.
