Downtown Train Chords

(ver. 3)
Tom Waits
Intro: G Cmaj7 D (x2)


Verse 1:

G          Cmaj7   D          G
  Outside another yellow moon
          Cmaj7        D              G
punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
                   Cmaj7       D              G
Climb through your window and down the street
     Cmaj7         D        C
I'm shining like a new dime
              D              C              D
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
C/E                       D/F#
     They try so hard to break out of their little worlds


Verse 2:

G               Cmaj7           D                G
  You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
          Cmaj7             D                 G
They have nothing that can capture your heart
              Cmaj7     D            G
They're just thorns without the rose
   Cmaj7        D             C
Be careful of them in the dark
          D         C              D
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
C/E                         D/F#             
   Oh baby can't you hear me, can't you hear me now

Chorus:

G                    C      D   G                 C    D  
  Will I see you tonight          on a downtown train
G             C                    Am    D7
   Every night it's just the same,         you leave me lonely now


Verse 3:

G              Cmaj7         D            G
  I know your window and I know it's late
             Cmaj7           D      G
I know your stairs and your doorway
                 Cmaj7       D             G
I walk down your street and past your gate
               Cmaj7          D      C
I stand by the light at the four-way
               D            C               D
You watch them as they fall, they all have heart attacks
C/E                        D/F#
  They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back


Chorus:

G                   C       D   G                 C    D  
  Will I see you tonight          on a downtown train
G             C                         Am    D7
   Where every night it's just the same,         you leave me lonely
G                   C       D   G                 C    D  
  Will I see you tonight          on a downtown train
G            C                     Am  D7
  All of my tears just fall like rain,   all upon the downtown train
