[Intro]

Em G D

[Verse 1]

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
            C                          D
Now I work down at the carwash
                                       Em
Where all it ever does is rain
                 C                        D                                Em    G D
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

[Verse 2]

                      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
                   C                            D
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
                                          Em
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
          C                   D                                 Em G D
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Em G D

[Verse 3]

         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, upstairs I climbed
                         Em                       G
The room was dark, our bed was empty
            D
Then I heard that long whistle whine
                  C                                                        G
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

            C                               D
Now I swing a hammer on a road gang
                                                                          Em
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
                       C                       D                                Em G D Em G D
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Em G D
