Gm Bb F
I had a job, I had a girl I had something going mister in this world
Gm Bb F
I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard
Ebmaj7 F F Gm
Now I work down at the carwash Where all it ever does is rain
Eb F Gm F
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
Gm Bb F
She just said "Joe I gotta go We had it once we ain't got it any more"
Gm Bb F
She packed her bags left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Ebmaj7 F F Gm
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel her kiss in the misty rain
Eb F Gm F
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
| Eb | F | F | Gm | Eb | F | Gm | F |
Gm Bb F
Last night I heard your voice You�re crying, crying you were so alone
Gm Bb F
You said your love had never died You were waiting for me at home
Gm Bb F
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran till I thought my chest
Gm Bb
would explode There in the clearing, beyond the highway
F Gm
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone I rushed through the yard,
Bb F
I burst through the front door My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
Gm Bb F
The room was dark, our bed was empty Then I heard that long whistle whine
Eb Bb
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
Eb F
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Gm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Eb F Gm F
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
Gm Bb F F (with intro)
