Midnight Me and the Blues
by Mel Tillis written by Jerry House
C F G7 C
Long train rumbles low in the distance hear it blow
F G7 C
Don't engineers know I miss you
F G7 C
And they're reminding me how lonely nights can be
F G7 C
When it's midnight me and the blues
F G7 C
Car's going down the street no traffic jams to meet
F G7 C
This time of night they drive right through
F G7 C
And they all go right by and they don't know I cry
F G7 C
When it's midnight me and the blues
F C
Midnight's the loneliest time in the world
G7 C C7
Me I'm the loneliest guy with no girl
F C E7 Am
These blues began when it end-ed with you
C F G7 C
Now it's midnight me and the blues
F G7 C
Jet plane low overhead rumbles my lonely bed
F G7 C
Crumbles my lovely dreams of you
F G7 C
They don't care that you're gone or if midnight lasts till dawn
F G7 C
When it's midnight me and the blues
repeat #3
