Tom Waits – Downtown Train (Guitar)

D           G         A     D
  Outside, another yellow moon,

              G           A
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes.

D      G                         A           D
  I climb through the window and down to the street,

    G              A
I'm shining like a new dime.

G              A
  The downtown trains are full,

G                   A
  With all of those Brooklyn girls.

G                     A
  They try so hard to break out of their little worlds.

D                     G             A
  Well, you wave your hand and they scatter like crows,

D           G                 A                 D
  They have nothing that will ever capture your heart.

        G                A
They're just thorns, without the rose;

D        G           A
  Be careful of them in the dark.

G          A           G                          A
  Oh, if I was the one, you chose to be your only one.

        G                      A
Oh baby, can't you hear me now? Can't you hear me now?

D                  G
  Will I see you tonight,

D               G
  On a downtown train?

D       G                        Em   A
  Every night it's just the same;      you leave me lonely, now.

D             G            A         D
  I know your window and I know it's late,

            G               A
I know your stairs and your doorway.

D                  G          A           D
  I walk down your street and past your gate,

               G            A
I stand by the light at the four-way.

G                        A
  You watch them as they fall,

   G                           A
Oh baby, they all have heart attacks.

     G                                A
They stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back.

D                  G
  Will I see you tonight,

D               G
  On a downtown train?

D                   G                           Em    A
  Where every night, every night, it's just the same,  oh baby...

D                  G
  Will I see you tonight,

D               G
  On a downtown train?

D           G                       Em      A
  All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train.

D                  G
  Will I see you tonight,

D               G
  On a downtown train?

D             G            Em                     A
  Where every night, every night, it's just the same, oh baby...

D                  G
  Will I see you tonight,

D               G
  On a downtown train?

D           G                       Em    A                  D
  All of my dreams, they fall like rain,   all on a downtown train.

(D)  G         A        D     G         A        D
      All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train.

G         A        D     G  A        D
 All on a downtown train, a downtown train.
