Downtown Train

Year: 1990 - Album: Beautiful Maladies: The Island Years

Written by Tom Waits

	  		Intro: :| D | G - A |:  
  
  
| D |      | G - A |   | D |  
  
Outside another yellow moon  
  
  
              | G - A |             | D |    
  
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes  
  
  
  
               | G - A |              | D |    
  
I climb through the window and down to the street  
  
  
  
    | G - A |         
  
I'm shining like a new dime  
  
  
  
| G |        | A7 |          | G |             | A7 |  
  
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls  
  
  
  
| G |               | A7 |  
  
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds  
  



| D |      | G - A |   | D |  
Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows 

  
  | G - A |             | D |   
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart 
  

 | G - A |             | D |    
They're just thorns without the rose 
  
 | G - A |   
Be careful of them in the dark 
  
| G |        | A7 |          | G |             | A7 |  
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one 
  

 | G - A | 
Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now

(same as above:) | D | | G - A | | D | I know your window and I know it's late | D | | G - A | | D | I know your stairs and your doorway | G - A | | D | I walk down your street and past your gate | G - A | | D | I stand by the light at the four-way You watch them as they fall, oh baby, they all have heart attacks They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
