ok, here's another great bad luck brooder by the Boss...
i've heard it covered by both the smithereens & by raoul malo
(the mavericks) on the "nebraska" tribute album, but i think
i like raoul malo's version best (i love his voice.)
anyway the rhythm, etc. is typical springsteen stuff,
simple yet effective.
comments, improvments, donations are welcome.

DOWNBOUND TRAIN
-Bruce Springsteen
Em G D
EmI had a job, I had a Ggirl
I had something gDoing mister in this world
I got laid Emoff down at the lumber Gyard
Our love went Dbad, times got hard
Now I Cwork down at the Dcarwash
Where all it ever does is Emrain
Don't you fCeel like you're a rDider on a downbound tEmrain G D
She just said &qEmuot;Joe I gGotta go
We had it oDnce we ain't got it any more"
She packed her Embags left me beGhind
She bought a tDicket on the Central Line
Nights as I Csleep, I hear that wDhistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty Emrain
And I Cfeel like I'm a Drider on a downbound Emtrain G D
Em G D
Last Emnight I heard your vGoice
You were crying, Dcrying, you were so alone
You said your lEmove had never Gdied
You were Dwaiting for me at home
Put on my jEmacket, I ran through the Gwoods
I ran till I tDhought my chest would explode
There in the cEmlearing, beyond the Ghighway
In the mDoonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the Emyard, I burst through the fGront door
My head pounding Dhard, upstairs I climbed
The room was dEmark, our bed was Gempty
Then I hDeard that long whistle whine
And I dropCped to my knees, hung my head and cGried
Now I sCwing a hammer on a Droad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the Emrain
Now don't it Cfeel like you're a Drider on a downbound Emtrain G D Em G D
Em G D .......
(there ya go....)
