Downtown train - Tom Waits
(Orig. > Capo on 1st)
[D] Outside an[G]other yel[A]low moon[D] has punched a [G] hole
in the [A]nighttime [D]
I climb through the [G]window and [A] down to the street [D]
I'm [G] shining like a [A] new dime
[G]The downtown [A] trains are full [G] with all those [A] Brooklyn
girls
[G] They try so hard to [A] break out of their little world
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows They have nothing
that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose Oh, be careful of them in the
dark
And if I was the one You chose to be your only one Oh baby now,
can't you hear me now
[D] Will I see you toni[G]ght [A] [D] on a downtown tra[G]in [A]
[D]
Where every [G] night is just the s[Em]ame; [A]You leave me lonely
now [D]
I know your window and I know it's late I know your stairs and
your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate I stand by the light
at the fourway
You watch them as they fall Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night, every
night is just the same; you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night, every
night is just the same, all upon a downtown
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where all my dreams just fall like the rain, all upon a downtown
train
