Verse 1:
Am            D   Am          D               G       Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus  
  The distant echo of faraway voices boarding faraway trains 
Am             D      Am                  D                      G       Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus  
  To take them home to the ones that they love and who love them forever
Am                D     Am        D                  G         Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus   
The glazed, dirty steps repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Am         D         Am        D          
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
           G                       Bm                C                 D         
Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's papers, Mr. Jones got run down
G                              Bm                     C                D
Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow, madmen on the rampage
        G                           Bm                 C  D
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh

Break: Am D X2

Verse 2:
Am             D     Am                D     G        Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus   
  I fumble for change and pull out the Queen smiling, beguiling
Am             D    Am              D    G      Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus  
  I put in the money and pull out a plum behind me
Am                D      Am              D       G       Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus  
  Whispers in the shadows, gruff blazing voices, hate in waiting
Am             D    Am                 D
  Hey boy they shout, have you got any money
           G                         Bm                      C                 D
And I said I've a little money and a take away curry, I'm on my way home to my wife
          G                          Bm                       C                         D
She'll be lining up the cutlery, you know she's expecting me, polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork
        G                           Bm                 C  D
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh

Break: Am D X2

Verse 3:
Am               D   Am           D                 G           Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus   
  I first felt a fist, and then a kick, I could now smell their breath
Am              D   Am            D                   G          Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus  
  They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs and too many right wing meetings
Am            D         Am                 D                     G         Gmaj7sus    G7     Gmaj7sus  
My life swam around me, it took a look and drowned me in its own existence
Am                 D        Am                     D
The smell of brown leather, it blended in with the weather
             G                              Bm                              C                    D
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth, it blocked all my senses, couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
        G                           Bm                 C  D
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh
             G                           Bm                 C  D
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh

Drum Break and train noise

G                            Bm                           C                         D 
The last thing that I saw as I lay there on the floor was Jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter
      G                        Bm               C                   D
And a British Rail poster read have an awayday, a cheap holiday, oh do it today 
  G                           Bm                            C                      D
I glanced back on my life and thought about my wife  'cause they took the keys and she'll think it's me
        G                              Bm         C                         D
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight, the wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
    G                           Bm                 C  D
I'm down in the tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh
                 G                         Bm                 C  D
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh
                 G                         Bm                 C  D
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh
                 G                         Bm                 C  D
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh
                 G                         Bm                 C  D
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight, oh oh oh oh oh
