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

   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

Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe
Maybe San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound
Any way to get me gone
Don't think about me
Never let me cross your mind
Except when you hear that midnight
Lonesome whistle whine

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  Bm
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Em                    A                  C# G
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
