Downtown Train – Tom Waits ... Capo=2 (but leave low E no capo)

INTRO: [D, G, A] x2 (palm mute)

[D] Outside a[G]nother [A]yellow [D]moon
[D] Has punched a [G]hole in the [A]night time [D]
[D] I climb through the [G]window and [A]down to the [D]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 worlds [D]

[D] You wave your [G]hand and they [A]scatter like [D]crows
[D] They have [G]nothing that will [A]capture your [D]heart
[D] They’re just [G]thorns with[A]out the [D]rose, be [G]careful of them in the [A]dark

[G] And if I [A]was the one, [G] you chose to be your [A]only one
[G] Oh baby now, [A] can’t you hear me now [D]

[D] Will I see you to[G]night, [D] on a downtown [G]train
[D] Every [G]night, it’s just the [Em]same, [A] you leave me lonely [D]now

[D] I know your [G]window I [A]know it’s [D]late
[D] I know your [G]stairs and your [A]doorway [D]
[D] I walk down your [G]street and [A]past your [D]gate
[D] I stand by the [G]light at the [A]four-way

[G] You watch them [A]as they fall, [G] ooohh they all have [A]heart-attacks
[G] They stay at the carnival, [A]they’ll never win you back

[D] Will I see you to[G]night, [D] on a downtown [G]train
[D] Every [G]night, it’s just the [Em]same, [A] you leave me lonely [D]now

[D] Will I see you to[G]night, [D] on a downtown [G]train
[D] All of my [G]dreams they fall like [Em]rain, ooh [A]baby on a downtown [D]train

GUITAR: [D, G, D, G, D, G, Em, A, D] x2

[D] Will I see you to[G]night, [D] on a downtown [G]train
[D] Every [G]night, it’s just the [Em]same, [A] you leave me lonely [D]now

[D] Will I see you to[G]night, [D] on a downtown [G]train
[D] All of my [G]dreams they fall like [Em]rain, ooh [A]baby on a downtown [D]train
