Chorus 1
Now I work (C major) down at the car (D major) wash
Where all it ever does is rain (E minor)
Don't you feel (C major) like you're a rider (D major)
on a down (E minor) (C minoraj7) bound (D major) train
Verse 2
She just said, "Joe, (E minor) I gotta go (G major)
We had it once, (D major) we ain't got it anymore"
She packed her bags, (E minor) left me behind (G major)
She bought a ticket (D major) on the Central Line
Chorus 2
Nights as I (C major) sleep, I hear that whistle whining (D major)
I feel her kiss in the misty rain (E minor)
And I feel (C major) like I'm a rider (D major)
on a down (E minor) (C minoraj7) bound (D major) train

(C major) (D major) (E minor) (C minoraj7) (D major)
Bridge 1
Last (E minor) night I heard your voice (G major)
You were crying, crying, (D major) you were so alone
You said your love (E minor) had never died (G major)
You were waiting (D major) for me at home
Put on my jack (E minor) et, I ran through the woods (G major)
I ran till I thought (D major) my chest would explode
There in the clearing, (E minor) beyond the highway (G major)
In the moonlight, (D major) our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard (E minor)
I burst through the front (G major) door,
my head pounding hard (D major)
Up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, (E minor) our bed was empty (G major)
Then I heard (D major) that long whistle whine
And I dropped (C major) to my knees,
hung my head and (G major) cried
Chorus 3
Now I swing a sledge (C major)
hammer on a railroad (D major) gang
Knocking down them them
cross ties, working in the (E minor) rain
Now, don't it feel (C major) like you're a rider (D major)
on a down (E minor) (C minoraj7) bound (D major) train
Outro 1
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (D major)
