Down There By The Train by Tom Waits




                  Down There By The Train






            E      E7               A         E
There's a place I know, Where the train goes slow
            E              E              A           B7
Where the sinners can be washed, In the blood of the lamb
            A             E      A                A
There's a river by the trestle, Over by Sinners Grove
 E               E7             B7     A      E
Down where the willow and the dogwood grow

 E                        B7
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                       A
Down ther by the train, Down there by the train
 E                               B7     E
Down there, Where the train     goes   slow

         A          E      A                E
You can hear the whistle, You can hear the bell
          E         E7             A       B7
From the halls of heaven, To the gates of hell
             A                E                        A
And there's room for the forsaken, If you're there on time
            E                 E7       A
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

           E                          B7
If you're down there by the train,   Down there by the train
 E                          A
Down there by the train,   Down there by the train
 E                              B7    E
Down there, Where the train,   goes  slow

  E               E7         A                     E
There's a golden moon that shines up throught the mist
       E              E             A        B7
And I know that your name,  Will be on that list
            A          E                A          A
There's no eye for an eye, There's no tooth for a tooth
        E                      B7           A
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth

        E                        B7
He was down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                        A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
        E                        B7    E
He was down where the train     goes  slow

   E                 E7         A                E
So if you live in darkness, And If you live in shame
 E            E7                 A          B7
All of the passengers, Will be treated the same
         A            E          A                  A
Oh, And old Humpty Jackson, And Gyp the Blood will sing
       E                              B7         A
And Charlie Witten is holding on to Dillenger's wings

              E                        B7
They're both down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                        A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                             B7     E
Down there where the train    goes   slow

           E             E7              A              E
If you've lost all your hope, If you've lost all your faith
   E               E7               A               B7
I know you can be cared for, And I know you can be safe
     A           E              A           A
And all of the shamefulls, And all of the whores
     E                                B7          A
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord

    E                        B7
Is down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                        A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                               B7    E
Down there where the train      goes  slow

                  E                          A            E
Well I've never asked for forgivness, I've never said a prayer
        E        E7               A           B7
Never given of myself, And I've never truly cared
          A                  E            A                 A
And I've hurt the ones who loved me, And I'm still raising Cain
       E                         B7                A
I've taken the low road, And if you have done the same

         E                        B7
Meet me down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                        A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                              B7     A
Down there where the train     goes   slow 

         E                        B7
Meet me down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                        A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
 E                              B7     A
Down there where the train     goes   slow

 If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
 I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe
 And all the shamefuls and all of the whores
 And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord
 Is...

 {chorus}

 Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
 Never given of myself, never truly cared
 I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain
 I've taken the low road and if you've done the same
 Meet me...
