Chords for Sandra Bernhard - Downtown Train (Cover Of Rod Stewart's Cover of Tom Waits)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You _ know, _ I'm not a person who's afraid of being a little introspective.
_ These [F#] past holidays, I had a lot on my mind.
I was putting together [G#m] a new show and just thinking about my work and [F#] creativity.
_ I spent a lot of time at home just sitting [B] around listening to old music,
which I love to do because [F#] it really inspires [B] me.
And I got really into Rod Stewart again.
Every [F#] picture tells a [B] story, don't it?
You're darn right it does.
[F#] _ I [B] just got [F#] obsessed with him and his whole [B] vibe and emotional state.
And as always, I'm [C#] way ahead of the [D#] curve
because then they did [G#m] that VH1 Behind the Music special on him.
I never knew he had [F#] a problem with his [E] throat and he's a survivor.
He married three of the most [F#] beautiful women, like three blonde models,
and they all broke his heart [C#m] one [C#] consecutively after [B] the next.
But then Rachel Hunter, who's such a dog, got them all together
and did a big Thanksgiving for him after he recovered from his surgery.
So I thought, well, that was a cool thing.
_ _ I've always loved his whole look.
He's always been so sexy.
His original music to me has always been totally [E] inspiring.
[G#m] But to me, nobody does a [B] cover better _ than Rod Stewart.
I mean, he really gets underneath it.
I've loved every single thing he's ever covered, [E] every song except this one. _
_ _ _ _ Outside _ [E]
another _ [F#] _ yellow _ [B] moon
_ _ _ [E] Punched a hole in the [F#] night time, [B] yes
[C#m] _ [B] I climbed through the window [F#] and down to [B] the street _
_ _ _ Shining like [F#] a new _ [E] dime
_ _ _ _ _ [C#]
Downtown _ _ [E] trains are [B] full of _ [F#] those Brooklyn girls
_ [E] _
They try [G#] so hard to _
_ _ [B] break up [F#] their little world
_ _ [B] You wave your [E] hand [F#] and they scatter [B] like [E] crumbs
_ [B] They [E] have nothing that [F#] will ever capture [B] your heart
They're just _ thorns without the roots _
Be _ careful of [F#] them in the [E] dark
_ Oh, if [C#] I was the one you [E] _ [B] chose to be your [F#] only _ one
[E] _ Oh, can you [A#] hear [F#] me now? _
[B] _ Will I see you [E] tonight?
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ On a downtown _ _ [F#] train
_ _ [B] _
Where [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ it's just the _ _ same
_ [C#] You leave me lonely [B] still
I know your [E] window [F#] and I know [B] it's late
[E] I know [B] your door and your [F#] _
stairway
I walk down your [E] street [F#] and past your [B] gate
I wait at the light by [F#] the four-way
[E] _
You watch them [C#] as they fight _
[B] _ We'd all [F#] have heart _ attack
[E] _ _ There I [G#] thought _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ we'll never _ [F#] win you back
_ [B] _
Will I see [E] you tonight?
[F#] _
_ _ [B] On [E] a downtown _ _ train
[G#] _ _ [B] _ _ Where [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ [F#] it's just [C#m] the _ same
_ You [C#] leave me [B] lonely
_ Will I see you [E] _
[F#] tonight?
_ _ [B] _ On a downtown [E] _ train
[F#] _ _ _ [B] _
Where _ _ [G#m] _ dreams they [C#m] fall [B] like _ [E] _ [C#] rain
Upon a downtown [F#] _ train
_ _ [B] Upon _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
a downtown _ train _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ All [Bm] upon a _ [D#m] downtown _ _ _ _ [B]
train _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [C#] _
