[Chorus]
 G           D
Ooh Midnight Flyer
 G                                  D
Engineer won't you let your whistle moan
 G           D      Bm
Ooh Midnight Flyer
  Em                 A                   D
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on

[Verse]
   D              G
A runaway team of horses
      D
Ain't enough to make me stay
   G
So throw your rope on another man
                       A
And pull him down your way
 D              G
Make him into someone
   D                 Bm
To take the place of me
Em
Make him ev'ry kind of fool
    A            D
You wanted me to be

(Chorus)

[Verse]
D                G
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe
D
Maybe San Antone
    G
Any town is where i'm bound
                  A
Any way to get me gone
D                G
Don't think about me
D                      Bm
Never let me cross your mind
Em
'cept when you hear that midnight
A                D
Lonesome whistle whine

 G            D
Ooh Midnight Flyer
G                                   D
Engineer won't you let your whistle moan
G            D      Bm
Ooh Midnight Flyer
  Em                 A                   D   Bm
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
  Em                 A                   C   G   D
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
