Downbound Train chords by Bruce Springsteen

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

(G minorGm Bb majorBb FF)

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

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

(G minorGm Bb majorBb FF)

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

    Eb MajorEb          FF
Now I swing a hammer on a road gang
                       G minorGm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
       Eb MajorEb         FF          G minorGm   Bb majorBb  FF  G minorGm Bb majorBb  FF
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

(G minorGm Bb majorBb FF)
