E
 Well,
E
judge looked down gave me forty days
A E                                       A
  Instead of the fine that I could not pay
E
Said walk right you'll soon be home
A E
  Cross the line and you're on your own
A
 Forty days

[Chorus]
D                            E
 of shotguns and barbed wire fences
            B
Forty nights to sit an listen,
A# A                                E A
    to the midnight train to Memphis

 Well now,
E
whistle blows when the sun comes up
A E
  Head to floor keep your big mouth shut
A E                               A
  Eat your breakfast on the ground
E
Work like hell 'til the sun goes down
A
 Forty days

[Chorus]
D                            E

 Well now,
E
10 for the jury 10 for the judge

  20 more to forget my grudge

 That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind
A
 Forty days

[Chorus]
D                            E
 of shotguns and barbed wire fences
            B

    to the midnight train to Memphis

 Oh the midnight train to Memphis
