Oh!
[Verse]

Well, judge looked down, gave me forty days

Instead of the fine that I could not pay
Em Em A
Said "Walk right, you'll soon be home
Em Em A
Cross the line, you'll be on your own"
[Chorus]

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences

Forty nights to sit and listen
A Em A Em G
To the midnight train to Memphis
[Próxima Parte]

Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up

Head to floor, keep your big mouth shut
Em Em A
Eat your breakfast on the ground
Em Em A
Work like hell till the sun goes down
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Em A Em Bm Em Am Em G C Em Am Em A
Well now, then for the jury, ten for the judge
Em D Em A
Twenty more to forget my grudge
Em Em A
When I get to thirty-nine

That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
G Em A Em
Midnight train to Memphis

Midnight train to Memphis

Oh, Midnight train to Memphis
