Em Em  G G  D D

Em Em G G
I had a job, I had a girl
D D
I had something going mister in this world
Em Em G G
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
D D
Our love went bad, times got hard
C C D D
Now I work down at the carwash
Em Em
Where all it ever does is rain
C C D D Em Em G G D D
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train


Em Em G G
She just said "Joe I gotta go
D D
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
Em Em G G
She packed her bags left me behind
D D
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
C C D D
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
Em Em
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
C C D D Em Em G G D D
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Em Em G G D D

Em Em G G
Last night I heard your voice
D D
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
Em Em G G
You said your love had never died
D D
You were waiting for me at home
Em Em G G
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
D D
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
Em Em G G
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
D D
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
Em Em G G
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
D D
My head pounding hard, upstairs I climbed
Em Em G G
The room was dark, our bed was empty
D D
Then I heard that long whistle whine
C C G G
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

C C D D
Now I swing a hammer on a road gang
Em Em
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
C C D D Em Em G G D D Em Em G G D D
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Em Em G G D D .......

(there ya go....)
