Downtown Train - Tom Waits (G)
(by Tom Waits; recorded by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
[Each chord is half a measure. Try using C(9) instead of C sometimes, and Dsus instead of D; I'm not sure _exactly_ which chords are used.]
[intro]: G G C D G G C D G G C D G G C D
G G C D G G
Outside another yellow moon
C D
Has punched a hole in the nighttime
G G C D G G
I climb through the window and down to the street
C D
I'm shining like a new dime
C C D D
The downtown trains are full
C C D D
With all those Brooklyn girls
Em Em D/F# D/F#
They try so hard to break out of their little world
You wave your /hand and they /scatter like /crows GG C D GG
They have /nothing that will ever /capture your heart C D
They're just /thorns with/out the /rose GG C D GG
Oh, be /careful of them /in the dark C D
And if I was the one CC D D
You chose to be your only one C C D D
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now Em Em D/F# D/F#
G G C C G G C C
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
G G C C Am Am D D (G...)
Where every night is just the same; You leave me lonely now
[ instrumental: GG C D GG C D ]
(Now) I know your window and I know it's late GG C D GG
I know your stairs and your doorway C D
I walk down your street and past your gate GG C D GG
I stand by the light at the fourway C D
You watch them as they fall CC D D
Ooh, and they all have heart attacks C C D D
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back Em Em D/F# D/F#
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train GG CC GG CC
Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely GG CC AmAm DD G
