MIm SOL
I had a job, I had a girl
RE
I had something going mister in this world
MIm SOL
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
RE
Our love went bad, times got hard
DO RE
Now I work down at the carwash
MIm
Where all it ever does is rain
DO RE MIm SOL RE
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
MIm SOL
She just said "Joe I gotta go
RE
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
MIm SOL
She packed her bags left me behind
RE
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
DO RE
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
MIm
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
DO RE MIm SOL RE
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
MIm SOL RE
MIm SOL
Last night I heard your voice
RE
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
MIm SOL
You said your love had never died
RE
You were waiting for me at home
MIm SOL
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
RE
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
MIm SOL
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
RE
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
MIm SOL
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
RE
My head pounding hard, upstairs I climbed
MIm SOL
The room was dark, our bed was empty
RE
Then I heard that long whistle whine
DO SOL
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
DO RE
Now I swing a hammer on a road gang
MIm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
DO RE MIm SOL RE MIm SOL RE
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
MIm SOL RE
(there ya go....)
