Drum Pattern:
( beats)
 [Intro]
E           Amaj7         B6
    Ohhhhhhh. Ahhhhhh-ah-aahhhh-ahh
E
in the middle of the ... I go walkin' in the
                                      E7
in the middle of the ... I go walkin' in the
A                             Amaj7
in the middle of the ... I go walkin' in the
B
in the middle of the ... -
 
[Verse]
B                    E
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
         E7           A     Amaj7    B
From the mountains of faith To a river so deep
                      E             F#m7/E E
I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost
        E7       A.            Amaj7       B
But the river is wide.     And it's too hard to cross
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                    B6
Even though I know the river is wide
       Amaj7                    G#m7
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
Amaj7                   G#m
  I try to cross to the opposite side
         F#                              B       B6 BmM7
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
 
[Chorus]
B7 -                  E
 In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
            E7        A     Amaj7    B
Through the valley of fear To a river so deep
                  A         E        F#m7/E  E
And I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul
          E7            A          Amaj7    B
Something I would never lose  Something somebody stole
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                     B6
  I don't know why I go walking at night
            Amaj7                     G#m7
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
Amaj7                        G#m
  I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
        F#                             B       B6 BmM7
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
 
 
 
[Chorus]
B7 -                           E
          In the middle of the night
 
I go walking in my sleep
            E7        A
Through the jungle of doubt
              B
To a river so deep
                         E                        F#m7/E E
I know I'm searching for something (Searching for some- thing)
                               F#m7/E E
Something so undefined (So Un-defi-  ned)
            E7      A
That it can only be seen
       Amaj7       B
By the eyes of the blind
                     E ->
In the middle of the night
 
[Piano Solo Over Chorus Chords]-

E        A    B
E        A    B
  
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                    B6
  I'm not sure about a life after this
     Amaj7                    G#m7
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Amaj7             G#m                   F#
  Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
                 B        B6 BmM7
That runs to the promised land
 
 
 
[Chorus]
B7 -                                            E
                           In the middle of the night
 
I go walking in my sleep
            E7        A
Through the desert of truth
                B
To the river so deep
           B7     E                 F#m7/E E
We all end in the ocean (end in the o-     cean)
                                    F#m7/E E
We all start in the streams (start  in  the streams)
            E7    A
We're all carried along
Amaj7           B
By the river of dreams
                     E
In the middle of the night
 
 
 
[Outro] (Can add extensions if desired)
E
I go walkin' in the .. in the middle of the
 
I go walkin' in the .. in the middle of the
A
I go walkin' in the .. in the middle of the
B
I go walkin' in the .. in the middle of the

Ranked #26 in 1993 by Billboard Top 100!
