              G      D/F#          Em         Em7/D
When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night,
          C        G/B           Am
And the robin, he sleeps on the wing,
          G          D/F#          Em        Em7/D
Hear the toll of the bell, ringing out all is well,
          C            G/B            Am
And the city's golden light's shining on!


 Bm   Am   G   Am    Bm      Bm   Am   G   Am    Bm
Ride the long black train,  ride the long black train,
 Bm  Am  G    Am    Bm      Bm  Am   G    Am     G
Takes us all, black train,  take me home, black train!

 Bm   Am   G   Am    Bm      Bm   Am   G   Am    Bm
Ride the long black train,  ride the long black train,
 Bm   Am  G    Am    Bm      Bm  Am   G    Am     G
Takes us all, black train,  take me home, black train!

          G        D/F#            Em        Em7/D
And the shadows we pass, turns my soul into glass,
          C            G/B           Am
And the streets that I walk are all tamed,
          G          D/F#          Em        Em7/D
Hear the toll of the bell, ringing out all is well,
          C            G/B            Am
And the city's golden light's shining on!


 Bm   Am   G   Am    Bm      Bm   Am   G   Am    Bm
Ride the long black train,  ride the long black train,
 Bm   Am  G    Am    Bm      Bm  Am   G    Am     G
Takes us all, black train,  take me home, black train!


          G            D/F#           Em            Em7/D
And the briar, and the rose, in the churchyard they grow,
               C      G/B             Am
'Neath the clocktower tall, all en - twined,
          G      D/F#             Em          Em7/D
And the raven he flies 'round the oak, as she sighs,
          C          G/B          Am
And the candles they call out my name...

                G    Am    Bm      Bm  Am    G   Am    Bm
...to ride the long black train,  ride the long black train,
 Bm   Am  G    Am    Bm      Bm  Am   G    Am     G
Takes us all, black train,  take me home, black train!
