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)
