Downtown Train - Heartwood Guitar Instruction
Downtown Train
Tom Waits
Note: The key of the original recording is somewhere between D and Eb--instruments were not tuned to concert pitch (or the studio's tape machine was off-speed). This version is a little higher, in the key of E.
Use power chords with palm-mute throughout.

Intro: / E - - - / A - B - / x2
E A (½) B (½)
Outside another yellow moon
E A (½) B (½)
Has punched a hole in the nighttime
E A (½) B (½)
I climb through the window and down to the street
E A (½) B (½)
I'm shining like a new dime
A B
The downtown trains are full
A B
With all those Brooklyn girls
C#m B
They try so hard to break out of their little world
E A (½) B (½)
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
E A (½) B (½)
They have nothing that will ever capture
E A (½) B (½)
your heart. They're just thorns without the rose
E A (½) B (½)
Be careful of them in the dark
A B
And if I was the one
A B
You chose to be your only one
C#m B
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now
Chorus:
E A
Will I see you tonight
E A
on a downtown train
E A
Where every night is just the same
F#m B
You leave me lonely now
E A (½) B (½)
I know your window and I know it's late
E A (½) B (½)
I know your stairs and your doorway
E A (½) B (½)
I walk down your street and past your gate
E A (½) B (½)
I stand by the light at the four-way
A B
You watch them as they fall
A B
Oh baby, and they all have heart attacks
C#m B
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
Chorus
E A
Will I see you tonight
E A
on a downtown train
E A
Where all of my dreams, they fall like rain
F#m B
Oh baby, on a downtown train
