  			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 

  

   | D |            | G - A | D |          | G - A |  
  
   Will I see you tonight    on a downtown train  
  
  
   | D |      | G | G / F# - em |  | A7 |  
  
   Every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely 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  
  
  
 
  | D |            | G - A | D |          | G - A |   
   Will I see you tonight on a downtown train  

 | D |      | G | G / F# - em |  | A7 |  
   Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby  
  
 | D |            | G - A | D |          | G - A |  
   Will I see you tonight on a downtown train  
  
| D |      | G | G / F# - em |  | A7 |  
   All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train  
  
  
  
Solo: | D - G | D - A7 | D - G | A7 |  
  
      | D - G | D - A7 | D - G | A7 | A7 |  
  
  
  
   Will I see you tonight on a downtown train  
  
   Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby   
  
   Will I see you tonight on a downtown train  
  
   All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train  
  
  
  
Intro: :| D | G - A |:  
  
  
  
All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train  
  
All on a downtown train, a downtown train
