Em D\F# Em
Sam's leavin' on a midnight train
D\F# Em
Holes in is shoes, holes in his brain
D\F# Em
Holes in his hand where the money goes through
D\F# G
But an excuse to leave an a one-way ticket too
S[C]am's leavin' t[G]own, Sam's leavin' t[C]own [G]
S[C]am's leavin' t[G]own, Sam's leavin' t[C]own
H[Em]e lost control
Em - D\F# - Em (2x)
He tried to live his own rock 'n roll
But after many years he lost his self-control
Every band rehearsal turned out into a big fight
Now be smart, Sam, turn on you light
Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town (2x)
He lost control
Em - D\F# - Em (4x)
H[C]e's got fr[G]iends
Can you call them fr[C]iends?[G]
[C] Got a h[G]ome
Can you call it a h[C]o-o-[G]ome
[C] I know you l[G]ove only one-night st[C]ands[G]
[C] Is that what you c[G]all rock 'n r[Am]oll
Oh rock 'n r[Em]oll
Oh no
Em - D\F# - Em (4x)
So now, Sam's leavin' on a midnight train
Drunk and coked to the brim again
Boards the train to nowhere land
The final stop, the start of the end
S[C]am's leavin' t[G]own, Sam's leavin' t[C]own (3x)
S[C]am's leavin' t[G]own, Sam's leavin' t[Am]own[Em]
