I [Am] had a job, [C] I had a girl, [G] had something going, was tricking this world.
I got [Am] laid off, down at [C] the yard.
[G] All of it bad, times got hard.
Now [F] I work, down at [G] the car wash.
But all it ever does [Am] is rain.
Don't [F] you feel like [G] you're a rider [Am] on a [F] downbound [G] train?
She just [A] said, Joe, [C] I gotta go.
[G] We had it once, we ain't got it anymore.
She packed [A] her bags, [C] left me behind.
[G] She bought a ticket on the Central Line.
Nighttime's [F] asleep, I hear that whistle [G] whining.
I feel a kiss in the [A] misty rain.
[C] And [F] I feel [G] like I'm a rider on [A] a [G] downbound train.

[Am] [G] Last [A] night, I heard your voice.
You were [G] cry-crying all so long.
Said [A] your love had never died.
You [G] were waiting for me at home.
Put on [Am] my jacket, ran through the [C] woods.
Ran till I [G] thought my chest would explode.
There [Am] in the clearing, beyond [C] the highway,
in the [G] moon that our wedding had shone.
I rushed [Am] through the yard, I rushed through [C] the front door.
Head [G] down and hard, up the stairs I climbed.
The room [A] was dark, our bed [C] was empty.
Then [G] I heard that long whistle whine.
And [F] I dropped to my knees, hung my head [C] and cried.
[F] Now I swing, I [G] sledgehammer,
I'm working the pouring [Am] rain.
And I [F] feel like [G] I'm a rider on [Am] a downbound [G] train.
