Gm A# F
i had a job , i had a girl i had something going mister in this world
Gm A# F
i got laid off down at the lumber yard our love went bad , times got hard
D#maj7 F F Gm
now i work down at the carwash where all it ever does is rain
D# F Gm F
don’t you feel like you’re a rider on a downbound train

Gm A# F
she just said “joe i gotta go we had it once we ain’t got it any more”
Gm A# F
she packed her bags left me behind she bought a ticket on the central line
D#maj7 F F Gm
nights as i sleep , i hear that whistle whining i feel her kiss in the misty rain
D# F Gm F
and i feel like i’m a rider on a downbound train

Gm A# F
last night i heard your voice youre crying , crying you were so alone
Gm A# F
you said your love had never died you were waiting for me at home
Gm A# F
put on my jacket , i ran through the woods i ran till i thought my chest
Gm A#
would explode there in the clearing , beyond the highway
F Gm
in the moonlight , our wedding house shone i rushed through the yard ,
A# F
i burst through the front door my head pounding hard , up the stairs i climbed
Gm A# F
the room was dark , our bed was empty then i heard that long whistle whine
D# A#
and i dropped to my knees , hung my head and cried

D# F
now i swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Gm
knocking down them cross ties , working in the rain
D# F Gm F
now don’t it feel like you’re a rider on a downbound train
