[Verse 1]
N.C.           Em           A                 D
What makes a man think that he can forget about what used to be
 D              Em             A                    D
Be happy with the way life is, not think about what once was his
 Em                 A
Whiskey drunk and under the gun
 A                G         D
I'm taking me a midnight run
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em
I'm taking me a midnight run
 A           D
I'm making another one
                Em                   E                        A
A thousand miles or more I'll drive   to where I lived when I thought I was alive
                   G                   A
They'll never know I was ever around
                 D
Just my shadow on the ground
             Em               A
I turn east to face the sun
                   G         D
After making me a midnight run
 
 
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
 N.C                    Em
I tell you all 'cause you need to know
 A                    D
They don't call for me to go
                     Em                  E
I hear that voice coming 'cross the miles
                 A
I got no choice but to be gone a while
                         G
I say get in you better lock and load
 A                   D
Don't let the wind block the road
               Em
I'll be gone but when it's done
A                    G         D
 I'm all alone on my midnight run
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em
I'm taking me a midnight run
 A           D
I'm making another one
                 Em                  E                        A
A thousand miles or more I'll drive   to where I lived when I thought I was alive
                   G                   A
They'll never know I was ever around
                 D
Just my shadow on the ground
             Em               A
I turn east to face the sun
                   G         D
After making me a midnight run

[Intro Riff] e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------2---------------------------| D|--------------0--2/4----2/4-2-----------------------| A|---0--0h2-----------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------| So this almost certainly isn't correct and I don’t try to tab things by ear often but, I think I might have figured out a rough version of that cool little intro riff and thought id post it here (since this is literally the only tab of this song at the moment). Thought maybe it could help someone on the way to finding the correct notes and possibly the rest of that riff if they were so inclined!

a few chords are misplaced on the lyrics, but it is stunning. thank you so much.

Thank you!
