Biography:
Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

[Intro]
A A D E A A A D E A
whoooo, whoooo,
A A D E
Now the night train is waitin', to take me away,
D E A A
And I'm still feelin' guilty 'cause you're wanted me to sta-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay.
A A D E
Well I know, how I know, it's harder on you,
D E A A
But then you said it yourself there's nothing else we could do.
A A D E
When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the night,
D E A A
Out there in the darkness there's a star shinin' bri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
A A D E
And it makes me feel better, just to see it up there,
D E A A
Hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care.
[Chorus]
A A
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
D E A
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
A A
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
D E A A
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
A A D E
Now I know you've been waiting, but I'll be seeing you soon,
D E A A
Meanwhile I just lay here and stare at the moo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-n.
A A D E
And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps,
D E A A
And the train keeps on rollin' it just rocks me to sleep.
[Chorus]
A A
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
D E A
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
A A
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
D E A A A A
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight,

A A
So goodnight, yeah goodnight,
D E A A
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
A A D E
Now from city to city, it's four hundred miles,
D E A A
And I'm bound to wake up every once in a whi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-le.
A A D E
And it's then that I call out, to some higher power,
D E A A
And then I'll go back to sleep, 'cause I'll be home in an hour.
