...DOWNTOWN TRAIN... by Tom Waits --------------------............. *from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)* *CAPO 1st FRET* (Original Key: Eb) Intro: D, G A (x2) Verse 1: D G A D Outside, a-nother yellow moon, G A Has punched a hole in the night-time, yes. D G A D I climb through the window and down to the street, G A I'm shining like a new dime. Bridge 1: G A The downtown trains are full, G A With all of those Brooklyn girls. G A They try so hard to break out of their little worlds. Verse 2: D G A D Well, you wave your hand and they scatter like crows, G A D They have nothing that will ever capture your heart. G A D They're just thorns, without the rose; G A Be careful of them in the dark. Bridge 2: G A G A Oh, if I was the one, you chose to be your only one. G A Oh baby, can't you hear me now? Can't you hear me now? Chorus 1: D G A Will I see you to-night, D G A On a downtown train? D G Em A Every night it's just the same; you leave me lonely, now. Verse 3: D G A D I know your window and I know it's late, G A I know your stairs and your doorway. D G A D I walk down your street and past your gate, G A I stand by the light at the four-way. Bridge 3: G A You watch them as they fall, G A Oh baby, they all have heart-attacks. G A They stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back. Chorus 2: D G A Will I see you to-night, D G A On a downtown train? D G Em A Where every night, every night, it's just the same, oh baby... D G A Will I see you to-night, D G A On a downtown train? D G Em A All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train. Interlude: D G, D A, D G, A (x2) Chorus 3: D G A Will I see you to-night, D G A On a downtown train? D G Em A Where every night, every night, it's just the same, oh baby... D G A Will I see you to-night, D G A On a downtown train? D G Em A All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train. Coda: D G A D G A D All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train.
