Downtown Train - Tom Waits

[Intro]    D [G  A] (x2)

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.
G             A
The downtown trains are full,
G                  A
With all of those Brooklyn girls.
   Bm                    A                          A
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds.

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.
G         A           G                          A
Oh, if I was the one, you chose to be your only one.
   Bm                           A                  A
Oh baby, can't you hear me now? Can't you hear me now?

[Chorus 1]
      D                  G     
         Will I see you to-night,
      D              G      
         On a downtown train?
      D      G                        Em  A
         Every night it's just the same;     you leave me lonely, now.

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.
G                       A
You watch them as they fall,
   G                         A
Oh baby, they all have heart-attacks.
      Bm                               A                 A
They stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back.

[Chorus 2]
      D                  G     
         Will I see you to-night,
      D              G      
         On a downtown train?
            D            G                               Em  A
      Where every night, every night, it's just the same,     oh baby...
      D                  G     
         Will I see you to-night,
      D              G      
         On a downtown train?
      D          G                      Em       A
         All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train.
