        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

        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
