Downbound Train chords by Bruce Springsteen (Ver. 2)

(Gm Bb F)

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   Bb  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   Bb  F
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

(Gm Bb F)

   Gm         Bb
Last night I heard your voice
         F
You were crying, 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, upstairs 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 hammer on a road gang
                       Gm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
       Eb         F          Gm   Bb  F  Gm Bb  F
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

(Gm Bb F)
