[Verse 1]
A                    E            F#m         E
When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night
        D        A             Bm
And the robin he sleeps on the wing
         A           E           F#m         E
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
       D               A        Bm
And the city's golden lights shining on


[Chorus]
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train
         A    Bm     A
Take me home black train


[Verse 2]
A                   E            F#m       E
And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass
        D              A             Bm
And the streets that I walk are all tamed
         A           E           F#m         E
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
        D              A       Bm
And the city's golden lights shining on


[Chorus x 2, in between the 2 choruses instrumental section: A  E  F#m  E  D  A  Bm]
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train
         A    Bm     A
Take me home black train


[Verse 3]
A                     E           F#m             E
And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow
           D           A        Bm
'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined
        A        E               F#m        E
And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs
         D            A          Bm
And the candles they call out my name


[Chorus, extended]
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train
         A    Bm    C#m
Ride the long black train
             A      Bm    C#m
It takes us all the black train
         A    Bm     A
Take me home black train
