Downtown Train Tom Waits
Intro: G Cmaj7 D (x2)
Verse 1:
[G] Outside a[Cmaj7]nother y[D]ellow moon[G]
punched a [Cmaj7]hole in the n[D]ighttime, yes[G]
Climb through your [Cmaj7]window and d[D]own the street[G]
I'm s[Cmaj7]hining like a [D]new dime[C]
The downtown t[D]rains are full [C]with all of tho[D]se Brooklyn girls
[C/E] They try so hard to b[D/F#]reak out of their little worlds
Verse 2:
[G] You wave your [Cmaj7]hand and they sc[D]atter like crows[G]
They have [Cmaj7]nothing that can c[D]apture your heart[G]
They're just t[Cmaj7]horns with[D]out the rose[G]
Be [Cmaj7]careful of th[D]em in the dark[C]
Oh, if I w[D]as the one[C] you chose to b[D]e your only one
[C/E] Oh baby can't you hear me[D/F#], can't you hear me now
Chorus:
[G] Will I see you toni[C]ght [D] [G] on a downtown tr[C]ain[D]
[G] Every night[C] it's just the same, [Am] [D7] you leave me lonely now
Verse 3:
[G] I know your w[Cmaj7]indow and I kn[D]ow it's late[G]
I know your s[Cmaj7]tairs and your d[D]oorway[G]
I walk down your [Cmaj7]street and p[D]ast your gate[G]
I stand by the [Cmaj7]light at the fo[D]ur-way[C]
You watch them [D]as they fall,[C] they all have h[D]eart attacks
[C/E] They stay at the carnival[D/F#], but they'll never win you back
Chorus:
[G] Will I see you ton[C]ight [D] [G] on a downtown tr[C]ain[D]
[G] Where every[C] night it's just the same,[Am] [D7] you leave me lonely
[G] Will I see you ton[C]ight [D] [G] on a downtown tr[C]ain[D]
[G] All of my t[C]ears just fall like ra[Am]in, [D7] all upon the downtown train
