*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: Eb)
[Intro]
D, G A (x2)
[Verse 1]
D G A D
Outside, a-nother yellow moon,
G A
Has punched a hole in the night-time, yes.
D G A
I climb through the window
D
and down to the street,
G A
I'm shining like a new dime.
[Bridge 1]
G A
The downtown trains are full,
G A
With all of those Brooklyn girls.
G A
They try so hard to break out
of their little worlds.
[Verse 2]
D G
Well, you wave your hand and
A D
they scatter like crows,
G
They have nothing that
A D
will ever capture your heart.
G A D
They're just thorns, without the rose;
G A
Be careful of them in the dark.
[Bridge 2]
G A G
Oh, if I was the one,
A
you chose to be your only one.
G A
Oh baby, can't you hear me now?
Can't you hear me now?
[Chorus 1]
D G A
Will I see you to-night,
D G A
On a downtown train?
D G Em
Every night it's just the same;
A
you leave me lonely, now.
[Verse 3]
D G A D
I know your window and I know it's late,
G A
I know your stairs and your doorway.
D G A D
I walk down your street and past your gate,
G A
I stand by the light at the four-way.
[Bridge 3]
G A
You watch them as they fall,
G A
Oh baby, they all have heart-attacks.
G
They stay at the carnival
A
but they'll never win you back.
[Chorus 2]
D G A
Will I see you to-night,
D G A
On a downtown train?
D G
Where every night, every night,
Em A
it's just the same, oh baby...
D G A
Will I see you to-night,
D G A
On a downtown train?
D G Em
All of my dreams, they fall like rain,
A
oh baby, on a downtown train.
[Interlude]
D G, D A, D G, A (x2)
[Chorus 3]
D G A
Will I see you to-night,
D G A
On a downtown train?
D G Em A
Where every night, every night, it's just the same, oh baby...
D G A
Will I see you to-night,
D G A
On a downtown train?
D G Em
All of my dreams, they fall like rain,
A
oh baby, on a downtown train.
[Coda]
D G A D G A D
All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train.
G A D G A D
All on a downtown train, a downtown train.
(Repeat to Fade)
