[G] Midnight blues, [C] take me home,

[D] Under the starry skies, [C] alone,
[G] That’s where I find my [D] song.

[G] Singing the midnight [C] blues,
[Em] Underneath the [D] moon,

(Verse 2)
[G] When my heart, [C] feels heavy,
[G] And my dreams, [C] seem far,
[D] I sing the midnight blues, [C] alone,
[G] Underneath the [D] stars.

[Em] Underneath the [D] moon,
[G] Strumming on my old [C] guitar,
