I've been walking these mean streets,

Hard concrete beneath my feet,

Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd,

The city's like a Christmas tree,
G D
A light for every dreamer's dream,
D A7 D
But it seems mine has finally burnt out,
[Refrão]D C G
Long Black Train take me home,

I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go,

I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong,

I should've known I was mistaken,

When I thought that I'd be makin,

So with what's left of my pride I'll carry on,

I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket,

Then climb aboard and ride you on down the track,

I know I'm licked but it's hard to admit it,
D A7
Maybe some day you can bring me back,
[Refrão]D C G
