Intro: C  Em7  F  G  
  
C          Em7   F   G  
Mmmmm, L. A.  
           C             Em7     F             G  
Proved too much for the man (too much for the man)  
             C                Em7           F  D                G  G  G7  G7  
(He couldn't make it) So he's leaving a life     he's come to know  
              C                Em7            F    G  
(He said he's going) Said he's going back to find (going back to find)  
C         Em7         F     G-Gsus4-G  
  What's left of his world  
C             Em7       F        D      G    G  G7  G7  
  A world he left behind not so very long ago,  oh yeah  
  
     C        Em7     F        G  
He's leaving (leaving) on that midnight train to  
  C                   Em7                  F    G  
Georgia (leaving on a midnight train), oh yeah  
          C              Em7       Am              D  
Said he's going back to find (he's going back to find)  
            G           G               G7                          G7  
A simpler place and time  
         (and, when he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)  
  
  C           Em7             F             G  
I'll be with him (I know you will) on that midnight train to Georgia   
Am                 Am               D              D  
  (Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia... woo woo!)  
F                    F          G {stop}  
  I'd rather live in his world (live in his...) than live without him in mine  
C   Em7   F   G  
(background voices: something about "his world")  
  
C            Em  F 
He kept dreaming (dreaming)  
     G                  C  Em   F                G 
That one day he'd be a star (a superstar, but he didn't get far)  
        C                  Em 
Well he sure found out the hard way  
F     D      G                 G7 
Dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true, uh-uh, no, uh-uh)  
         C  Em    F  G             C Em F G 
So he hung all his hopes, and he even sold his own car   
             C              Em  F 
And bought a one-way ticket back  
        D                   G                G7 
To the life that he once he knew, oh yes he did, he said he would  
  C              Em F          G    
I know he's leaving on that midnight train to  
C      Em                                  F   G 
Georgia (leaving on a midnight train), oh yeah  
          C              Em  Am                   D 
Said he's going back to find (he's going back to find)  
         G                  G7 
A simpler place and time   (...guess who's gonna be right by his side)  

C                    Em                   F       G                  Am  
I've got to be with him (I know you will) on that midnight train to Georgia  
                                  D 
(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia... woo woo!)  
F                            G                                         C 
I'd rather live in his world (live in his...) than live without him in mine
