  Someone wanted "Downtown Train" by Tom Waits.  I don't know the Waits

  version, but if it has the same chords as the MCC version, here it is.

  If it doesn't, then at least maybe the MCC fans will like this. :)

  

  

  DOWNTOWN TRAIN (by Tom Waits; recorded by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  [Each chord is half a measure.]

  [Try using C(9) instead of C sometimes, and Dsus instead of D; I'm

   not sure _exactly_ which chords are used.]

  [intro]

  

  G G    C          D        G   G

     Outside another yellow moon

                   C           D

     Has punched a hole in the nighttime

  G  G                   C           D             G   G

     I climb through the window and down to the street

         C              D

     I'm shining like a new dime

  

  C C         D              D

     The downtown trains are full

  C       C           D       D

     With all those Brooklyn girls

  Em          Em     D/F#             D/F#

     They try so hard to break out of their little world

  

  You wave your hand and they scatter like crows

  They have nothing that will ever capture your heart

  They're just thorns without the rose

  Oh, be careful of them in the dark

  

  And if I was the one

  You chose to be your only one

  Oh baby now, can't you hear me now

  

  G         G         C     C    G      G        C     C

     Will I see you tonight        on a downtown train

  G         G          C  C            Am   Am   D             D       (G...)

     Where every night     is just the same;      You leave me lonely now

  

  (Now) I know your window and I know it's late

  I know your stairs and your doorway

  I walk down your street and past your gate

  I stand by the light at the fourway

  

  You watch them as they fall

  Ooh, and they all have heart attacks

  They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

  

  Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

  Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely

  

  Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

  Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown

  

  G     D    G   D    G   D    D   D

  train [instrumental]

  G   D    G   D    G   D    D   D   D   D

  [instrumental]

  

  Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

  Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely

  

  Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

  Where all my dreams just fall like the rain, all upon a downtown train

  

  [Fade on G G C D...]
