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)
