INTRO: A

#1.
A                  D                    A
Me and my baby, we left on the midnight bus.
A                        D                  A
Pulled out of Durham and left in a cloud of dust.
A                        D               A
Headed for the border of North and South Caroline.
D           E                A
This time tomorrow she'll be mine.

#2.
A                         D                     A
After we had ridden for a while on the midnight bus.
A               D            A
We fell out and had an awful fuss.
A                 D                   A
Said goodbye, and I pulled the buzzer chord.
D                 E                  A
I got off and the driver slammed the door.

#3.
A                D                    A
Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus.
A                D                    A
Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus.
      E               D             A        
She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone. 

#4.
A                        D                   A
Standin' in the highway, holdin' my suitcase tight.
A                      D               A
Watching that midnight bus pull out of sight.
      E               D             A
She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone.
