  			D 
When I'm sad and blue  
        A7 
And I'm feeling all alone  
 
There's a place that I go to  
            D 
That no one knows  
D 
Where no matter what I do  
        A7 
Won't nobody put me down  
 
That's why I'm going to  
                  D 
The other side of town  
D 
On the other side of town  
          A7 
Where the sun don't ever shine  
 
Everybody walks around  
       D 
With a shadow cross their minds  
D 
When that midnight train rolls by  
         A7 
And they hear that lonesome sound  
 
They just hang their heads and cry  
                     D 
On the other side of town  
D 
Well it isn't very far  
         A7 
And it's not that hard to find  
                                     D 
You just follow all the other lonely souls  
D 
Take a walk down lonesome lane  
         A7 
'Til you see the dead end sign  
                                             D 
And your broken heart will tell you where to go  
D 
To the other side of town  
          A7 
Where the sun don't ever shine  
 
Everybody walks around  
       D 
With a shadow cross their minds  
 
When that midnight train rolls by  
         A7 
And they hear that lonesome sound  
 
They just hang their heads and cry  
                     D 
On the other side of town  
 
SOLO 
 
D 
So if you've find someone  
          A7 
Who won't never let you down  
                               D 
Hurry home before the sun goes down  
D 
No matter what you do  
          A7 
Don't let night fall like a shroud  
                                   D 
And catch you on the other side of town  
D 
On the other side of town  
          A 
Where the sun don't ever shine  
 
Everybody walks around  
       D 
With a shadow cross their minds  
D 
When that midnight train rolls by  
         A 
And they hear that lonesome sound  
 
They just hang their heads and cry  
                     D 
On the other side of town
