Chords

Nostalgic reminiscence of Dustin's excellent live performances led me to tab his cover of 'Down There By The Train' by Tom Waits that he played for us on his farewell tour. Enjoy~ [Verse]

There's a place I know

where the train goes slow

C           
where the sinners can be washed 

        Fmaj9/A      G
in the blood of the lamb

there's a river by the trestle 

         E        Am
down by Sinner's Grove

down where the Willow and the Dogwood grows

to the gates of hell

        Fmaj9/A      C
there's room for the foresaken 

          E        Am
if you're there on time

there's a golden moon

There's no eye for an eye

well I've never asked forgiveness and
