THE JAM: DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT

Words and music by Paul Weller

Am                 D7

The distant echo

Am                  D7                  Gmaj7

Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains

Am                 D7

To take them home to

Am                  D7                  Gmaj7

The ones that they love and who love them forever

Am                              D7

The glazed, dirty _ steps

Am                  D7                                     Gmaj7

Repeat my own and reflect my thoughts

Am                  D7              Am                  D7

Cold and uninviting, partially naked

                  G                                    Bm

Except for toffee wrappers and this mornings papers

C                     D      

Mr Jones got run down

G                               Bm

Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow

C                                 D

Madmen on the rampage

G                                     Bm                C     D

And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

Am                 D7

I fumble for change

Am                  D7                  Gmaj7

And pull out the queen, smiling, beguiling

Am                 D7

I put in the money

Am                  D7        Gmaj7

And pull out a plumb behind me

Am                      D7

Whispers in the shadows

Am                  D7       Gmaj7

Gruff blazing voices, hating, waiting

Am                      D7     Am                      D7

?Hey boy? they shout, ?have you got any money?

                 G                            Bm

And I said, ?I?ve a little money and a take away curry.

C                                           D

I?m on my way home to my wife

G                            Bm

She?ll be lining up the cutlery, you know she?s expecting me,

C                                           D

Polishing the glasses and out the cork?.

G                                     Bm                C     D

And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

I first felt a fist

And then a kick, I could now smell their breath,

They smelt of pubs

And Wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings.

My life swan around me in its own existence

The smell of brown leather, it blended in with the weather,

It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth,

It blocked my senses

Couldn?t see, hear, speak any longer.

And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

I said I was down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

The last thing I saw as I lay there on the floor

Was ?Jesus saves? painted by an atheist nutter

And a British rail poster read ? have an awayday a cheap holiday, do it today?

I glanced back on my life and thought about my wife

Cause they took the keys and she?ll think its me

And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

The wine will be flat and the curry?s gone cold

I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

Don?t wanna go

And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
