Verse

Do you ever feel lonesome when you’re down in San Antone
Bm           E                       D                       G
Beg steal or borrow two nickels or a dime to call you on the phone
I’ll meet you at Alamo mission we can say our prayers
Bm                            E
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will hear us as we kneel there

Chorus

G  D
In the Midnight
G      D

Verse

A                        E
Did you ever feel sorrow for the deeds that you have done
Bm               E        D                     G
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun
A                        E
And the ocean is howling with things that might have been
And that last good-morning sunrise would be the brightest you’ve ever seen
