🎶 Downtown Train - Tom Waits

*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: Eb)
(Intro)
[Cb] [Db] [Bbm]
(x2)

(Verse 1)
[Cb]...Outside, a-[Db]nother [Bbm]yellow [Cb]moon,
Has punched a [Db]hole in the [Bbm]night-time, yes.
[Cb]...I [Db]climb through the [Bbm]window and [Cb]down to the street,
I'm [Db]shining like a [Bbm]new dime.

(Bridge 1)
[Db]...The downtown [Bbm]trains are full,
[Db]...With all of those [Bbm]Brooklyn girls.
[Db]...They try so hard to [Bbm]break out of their little worlds.

(Verse 2)
[Cb]...Well, you wave your [Db]hand and they [Bbm]scatter like crows,[Cb]
They have [Db]nothing that will ever [Bbm]capture your heart.[Cb]
[Db]...They're just [Bbm]thorns, without the rose;[Cb]
Be [Db]careful of [Bbm]them in the dark.

(Bridge 2)
[Db]...Oh, if I [Bbm]was the one, [Db]you chose to be your only [Bbm]one.
Oh baby, [Db]can't you hear me now? [Bbm]Can't you hear me now?

(Chorus 1)
[Cb]...Will I see you [Db]to-night,[Bbm]
[Cb]...On a downtown [Db]train?[Bbm]
[Cb]...Every [Db]night it's just the same;[D#] [Bbm] you leave me lonely, now.

(Verse 3)
[Cb]...I know your [Db]window and I [Bbm]know it's [Cb]late,
I know your [Db]stairs and your [Bbm]doorway.
[Cb]...I walk down your [Db]street and [Bbm]past your [Cb]gate,
I stand by the [Db]light at the [Bbm]four-way.

(Bridge 3)
[Db]...You watch them as they [Bbm]fall,
Oh [Db]baby, they all have heart-[Bbm]attacks.
They [Db]stay at the carnival but they'll [Bbm]never win you back.

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

(Interlude)
[Cb] [Db] [Cb] [Bbm] [Cb] [Db] [Bbm]
(x2)

(Chorus 3)
[Cb]...Will I see you [Db]to-night,[Bbm]
[Cb]...On a downtown [Db]train?[Bbm]
Where [Cb]every night, [Db]every night, it's just the same,[D#] [Bbm] oh baby...
[Cb]...Will I see you to-[Db]night,[Bbm]
[Cb] On a downtown [Db]train?[Bbm]
[Cb]...All of my [Db]dreams, they fall like [D#]rain, oh [Bbm]baby, on a downtown train.

(Coda)
[Cb]... [Db]All on a [Bbm]downtown [Cb]train, [Db]all on a [Bbm]downtown [Cb]train.
[Db]...All on a [Bbm]downtown [Cb]train, [Db]a [Bbm]downtown [Cb]train.

(Repeat to Fade)
