Bridge 1
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
I rushed through the yard
G
I burst through the front door,
D
my head pounding hard
Up the stairs I climbed
Em
G
The room was dark, our bed was empty
D
Then I heard that long whistle whine
C
And I dropped to my knees,
G
hung my head and cried
Chorus 3
C
Now I swing a sledge
D
hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them them
Em
cross ties, working in the rain
C
D
Now, don't it feel like you're a rider
Em
Cmaj7
D
on a downbound train
