C     Em7/B   F/A   G              C            Em7/B   F/A   G
L.A?                    proved too much for the girl
         C     Em7/B   F/A                D        G    G7
So she's leavin'?          the life she's come to know
         C                   Em7/B   F/A   G         C            Em7/B   F/A   G
So she's goin' back to find?                  what's left of her world
              C            Em7/B   F/A         D     G     G7
The world she left behind?              not so long ago

         C      Em7/B   F/A          G                 C   Em7/B   F/A   G
She's leavin'?               on that midnight train to Georgia
           C            Em7   F        D                 G         G7
Said she's goin' back?            to a simpler place and time
        C         Em7/B   F/A        G                 Am        D7
I'll be with her?            on that midnight train to Georgia
           F                  G                          C   Em7/B   F/A   G
I'd rather live in her world?   than live without her in mine

C   Em7/B   F/A   G

         C          Em7/B   F/A   G               C          Em7/B   F/A   G
She kept dreamin'?                  someday she'd be a star
        C                   Em7/B   F/A             D          G     G7
But she found out the hard way?         some dreams don't come true
         C                    Em7/B   F/A   G          C           Em7/B   F/A   G
So she's pawned all her hopes?                 and she sold her car
             C                    Em7/B   F/A        D             G       G7
And bought a one-way ticket back?             to the life she once knew

         C      Em7/B   F/A          G                 C   Em7/B   F/A   G
She's leavin'?               on that midnight train to Georgia
           C            Em7   F        D                 G         G7
Said she's goin' back?            to a simpler place and time
        C         Em7/B   F/A        G                 Am        D7
I'll be with her?            on that midnight train to Georgia
           F                  G                          C   Em7/B   F/A   G
I'd rather live in her world?   than live without her in mine
