Gm Bb
I had a job, I had a girl
F
I had something going mister in this world
Gm Bb
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
F
Our love went bad, times got hard
Eb F
Now I work down at the carwash
Gm
Where all it ever does is rain
Eb F Gm Eb F
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
Gm Bb
She just said "Joe I gotta go
F
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
Gm Bb
She packed her bags left me behind
F
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Eb F
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
Gm
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
Eb F Gm Eb F
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
| Eb7 | F | F | Gm | Eb | F | Gm | F |
Gm Bb
Last night I heard your voice
F
You were crying you were so alone
Gm Bb
You said your love had never died
F
You were waiting for me at home
Gm Bb
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
F
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
Gm Bb
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
F
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
Gm Bb
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
F
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
Gm Bb
The room was dark, our bed was empty
F
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 Eb F
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
| Gm | Bb | F | F | to fade out
