...DOWNTOWN TRAIN... by Tom Waits --------------------............. *from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)* *CAPO 1st FRET* (Original Key: C#) Intro: C, F G (x2) Verse 1:

^C Outside, a-^Fnother ^Gyellow ^Cmoon, Has punched a ^Fhole in the ^Gnight-time, yes. ^C I ^Fclimb through the ^Gwindow and ^Cdown to the street, I'm ^Fshining like a ^Gnew dime.

Bridge 1:

^F The downtown ^Gtrains are full, ^F With all of those ^GBrooklyn girls. ^F They try so hard to ^Gbreak out of their little worlds.

Verse 2:

^C Well, you wave your ^Fhand and they ^Gscatter like crows,^C They have ^Fnothing that will ever ^Gcapture your heart.^C ^F They're just ^Gthorns, without the rose;^C Be ^Fcareful of ^Gthem in the dark.

Bridge 2:

^F Oh, if I ^Gwas the one,^F you chose to be your only ^Gone. Oh baby, ^Fcan't you hear me now?^G Can't you hear me now?

Chorus 1:

^C Will I see you to-^Fnight,^G ^C On a downtown ^Ftrain? ^G ^C Every ^Fnight it's just the same;^Dm ^G you leave me lonely, now.

Verse 3:

^C I know your ^Fwindow and I ^Gknow it's ^Clate, I know your ^Fstairs and your ^Gdoorway. ^C I walk down your ^Fstreet and ^Gpast your ^Cgate, I stand by the ^Flight at the ^Gfour-way.

Bridge 3:

^F You watch them as they ^Gfall, Oh ^Fbaby, they all have heart-^Gattacks. They ^Fstay at the carnival but they'll ^Gnever win you back.

Chorus 2:

^C Will I see you to-^Fnight,^G ^C On a downtown ^Ftrain? ^G Where ^Cevery night, ^Fevery night, it's just the same,^Dm ^G oh baby...

^C Will I see you to-^Fnight,^G ^C On a downtown ^Ftrain? ^G ^C All of my ^Fdreams, they fall like ^Dmrain, oh ^Gbaby, on a downtown train.

Interlude: C F, C G, C F, G (x2) Chorus 3:

^C Will I see you to-^Fnight,^G ^C On a downtown ^Ftrain? ^G Where ^Cevery night, ^Fevery night, it's just the same,^Dm ^G oh baby...

^C Will I see you to-^Fnight,^G ^C On a downtown ^Ftrain? ^G ^C All of my ^Fdreams, they fall like ^Dmrain, oh ^Gbaby, on a downtown train.

Coda:

^C ^FAll on a ^Gdowntown ^Ctrain, ^Fall on a ^Gdowntown ^Ctrain. ^F All on a ^Gdowntown ^Ctrain,^F a ^Gdowntown ^Ctrain.
