Verse 

G                    Am 
Sometimes when I am lonely  
           D                                 G 
I get to thinking bout the places that I've been 
                                C             Am 
I turn around in the same old direction once again  
           D                   G 
I'm going home on a midnight train 

Verse 

G                                      Am 
When I left you was the middle of the winter 
                  D                    G 
The ground was covered by a cold cold snow 
                                C          Am 
My heart was young and I was searching but in vain  
            D                  G 
I'm going home on a midnight train 

Verse 

G        D                               G 
Home is not just a place where you are living 
       D                                    G 
Home means more when you've got no place to go 
                                           C          Am 
And when you're down and need someone to stand beside you 
 D                     G 
Turn around and go on home

When you're down and need someone to stand beside you
