2xI had a
Em
job, I had a G
girlI had something
D
going mister in this worldI got laid
Em
off down at the lumber G
yardOur love went
D
bad, times got hardNow I
C7+
work down at the D
car washWhere all it ever does is
Em
rainDon't you
C
feel like you're a D
rider on a Em
downbound D
trainShe just said
Em
Joe, I gotta G
goWe had it
D
once, we ain't got it any moreShe packed her
Em
bags, left me beG
hindShe bought a
D
ticket on the central lineNights as I
C7+
sleep, I hear that whistle D
whiningI feel her kiss in the misty
Em
rainAnd I
C
feel like I'm a D
rider on a Em
downbound D

Last
Em
night I heard your G
voiceYou were crying,
D
crying, you were so aloneYou said your
Em
love had never G
diedYou were
D
waiting for me at homePut on my
Em
jacket, I ran through the G
woodsI ran till I
D
thought my chest would explodeThere in
Em
the clearing, beyond the G
highwayIn the
D
moonlight, our wedding house shoneI rushed through the
Em
yard, I burst through the G
front doorMy head pounding
D
hard, up the stairs I climbedThe room was
Em
dark, our bed was G
emptyThen I
D
heard that long whistle whineAnd I
C7+
dropped to my knees, hung my head and G
criedNow I
C
swing a sledge hammer on a D
road gangKnocking down them cross ties, working in the
Em
rainNow don't it
C
feel like you're a D
rider on a Em
downbound D
trainEm
