Gm Gm              Bb Bb
I had a job, I had a girl
F F
I had something going mister in this world
Gm Gm Bb Bb
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
F F
Our love went bad, times got hard
Eb Eb F F
Now I work down at the carwash
Gm Gm
Where all it ever does is rain
Eb Eb F F Gm Gm Eb Eb F F
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Gm Gm Bb Bb
She just said "Joe I gotta go
F F
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
Gm Gm Bb Bb
She packed her bags left me behind
F F
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Eb Eb F F
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
Gm Gm
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
Eb Eb F F Gm Gm Eb Eb F F
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Gm Gm Bb Bb
Last night I heard your voice
F F
You were crying you were so alone
Gm Gm Bb Bb
You said your love had never died
F F
You were waiting for me at home
Gm Gm Bb Bb
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
F F
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
Gm Gm Bb Bb
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
F F
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
Gm Gm Bb Bb
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
F F
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
Gm Gm Bb Bb
The room was dark, our bed was empty
F F
Then I heard that long whistle whine
Eb Eb Bb Bb
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

Eb Eb F F
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Gm Gm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Eb Eb F F Gm Gm Eb Eb F F
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
