Downbound Train Bruce Springsteen
I had a job, I had a gir[G]l
I had something g[D]oing mister in this w[G]orld
[G]I got laid off down at the auto yard
Our love went b[D]ad, times got ha[G]rd
Now I w[C]ork down at the carwash
Where a[G]ll it does is rain
[G]Sometimes you feel like you're a rider, baby,[D] on a downbound tr[G]ain
[G]She just said "Joe I gotta go
We had it o[D]nce we ain't got it any [G]more"
[G]She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a tic[D]ket on the Central L[G]ine
Nights as I [C]sleep, I still hear the whistle whining
I feel her soft k[G]iss in the misty morning rain
[G]Sometimes don't you feel like you're a rider, baby[D], on a downbound tr[G]ain
[G]Hahhhhhh[/] (repea[C]t as[/] cho[G]rds g[/]o on)[D] [/] [G]
[G]Last night I heard her voice
You were [D]crying, crying, you were so a[G]lone
[G]You said your love had never died
And you were wa[D]iting for me at ho[G]me
Well I put on my j[C]acket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I tho[G]ught my chest would explode
[G]There in the clearing, beyond the highway
[G]In the moo[D]nlight, our wedding house s[G]hone
[G]I rushed through the y[C]ard, I burst through the front door
And then[G] up the stairs I climbed
[G]The room was dark, our bed was empty
And then I [D]heard that long whistle w[G]hine
And then I d[D]ropped to my knees, hung my head and cri[G]ed
Well now I [C]swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down [G]them cross ties, working in the rain
Sometimes don't it feel like you're a rider, baby[D], on a downbound tr[G]ain
