[Verse 1]
---------------------
            Em
I had a job,  I had a girl
G                  D
 I had something going, mister, in this world
              Em
I got laid off  down at the lumberyard
G                  D
 Our love went bad, times got hard
          CMaj7               D
Now I work     down at the carwash
Where all it ever does is rain
Em              CMaj7                D
  Don't you feel     like you're a rider
         Em CMaj7 D
On a down__bound train?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                   Em
She just said "Joe,  I gotta go
G               D
 We had it once, we ain't got it any more"
                    Em
She packed her bags,  left me behind
G               D
 She bought a ticket on the Central Line
            CMaj7                          D
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
Em          CMaj7             D
  And I feel     like I'm a rider
         Em CMaj7 D
On a down__bound train

[Verse 3]
---------------------
     Em
Last night, I heard your voice
G                    D
 You were crying, crying, you were so alone
                  Em
You said your love  had never died
G             D
 You were waiting for me at home
             Em
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
G                    D
 I ran till I thought my chest would explode
                Em                 G
There in a clearing beyond the highway
           D
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard
Em                         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
             CMaj7                              G
And I dropped     to my knees, hung my head, and cried

[Verse 4]
---------------------
                    CMaj7               D
Now I swing a sledgehammer on a railroad gang
                                              Em
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
                 CMaj7                D
Now don't it feel     like you're a rider
         Em CMaj7 D
On a down__bound train?
