Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  this dirty town there's nothing going  for me
No  shows going down that I would want  to see
Nothing  but the midnight tra----in
In  this shady street on a top  floor flat
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
C
And as the night falls on this to-----wn
 I'm going to watch the moon come down
Watch the moon come down
 I'm gonna Watch the moon come down
Watch it come down
As  the workmen walk home, reflected  in the car chrome
Splashing  through the gutters and  the sand
The  birds move in the rafters Hearing  echoes of the laughter
From  children in a playground close  at hand
And  hands inside my pockets, Staring at the light sockets
Everyone's  been blown out Everyone's been thrown out
I  said baby baby baby baby baby
 REPEAT CHORUS
If  I stay out all night Test  the midnight train's headlights
Follow  the tracks beyond sight to  the bend
Now  who've I got to let down, Tell me somebody with their head down
Bargin'  into solid ground in  the end In  the end, yeah  in the end
Waitin  for the end, arrive  to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)
I  said baby baby baby baby baby
Watch the moon come down  (three times)
 Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down
 Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down  Like a midnight train uh huh
 Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down  watch it come down
 Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down,  like a midnight train (fade)
