        Em           G
I had a job, I had a girl

                D
I had something going mister in this world

           Em                     G
I got laid off down at the lumber yard

              D
Our love went bad, times got hard

      Cmaj7            D
Now I work down at the car wash

                          Em
Where all it ever does is rain

          C                  D          Em        D
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

              Em           G
She just said Joe, I gotta go

          D
We had it once, we ain't got it any more

               Em              G
She packed her bags, left me behind

             D
She bought a ticket on the central line

            Cmaj7                      D
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining

                             Em
I feel her kiss in the misty rain

      C               D          Em        D
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Cmaj7 D Em C D Em D
     Em                 G
Last night I heard your voice

                 D
You were crying, crying, you were so alone

              Em             G
You said your love had never died

         D
You were waiting for me at home

          Em                        G
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods

             D
I ran till I thought my chest would explode

         Em                       G
There in the clearing, beyond the highway

       D
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone

                     Em                        G
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door

                 D
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed

             Em                G
The room was dark, our bed was empty

       D
Then I heard that long whistle whine

      Cmaj7         Em                      G
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

      C                          D
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a road gang

                                              Em
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain

             C                  D          Em        D
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
