Downbound Train

Bruce Springsteen Song
DOWNBOUND TRAIN -Bruce Springsteen

Em G D

Em G
I had a job, I had a girl D
I had something going mister in this world Em G
I got laid off down at the lumber yard D
Our love went bad, times got hard C D
Now I work down at the carwash Em
Where all it ever does is rain C D Em G D
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train Em G
She just said "Joe I gotta go D
We had it once we ain't got it any more" Em G
She packed her bags left me behind D
She bought a ticket on the Central Line C D
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining Em
I feel her kiss in the misty rain C D Em G D
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Em G D Em G
Last night I heard your voice D
You were crying, crying, you were so alone Em G
You said your love had never died D
You were waiting for me at home Em G
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods D
I ran till I thought my chest would explode Em G
There in the clearing, beyond the highway D
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone Em G
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door D
My head pounding hard, upstairs I climbed Em G
The room was dark, our bed was empty D
Then I heard that long whistle whine C G
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried C D
Now I swing a hammer on a road gang Em
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain C D Em G D Em G D
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Em G D .......
