(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          D
...I climb through the window 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             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.



(Bridge 2)
G           A            G                         A
...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?



(Chorus 1)
D                 G        A
...Will I see you to-night,
D                G     A
...On a downtown train?
D        G                        Em  A
...Every night it's just the same;     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                                A
They stay at the carnival 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                               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       A
...All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train.

D                 G        A
...Will I see you to-night,

...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?

(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.
