Nostalgic reminiscence of Dustin's excellent live performances
led me to tab his cover of 'Down There By The
Train' by Tom Waits that he played for us on his farewell tour. Enjoy~
Capo 6th
[Verse]
C
There's a place I know
Fmaj9/A C
where the train goes slow
C
where the sinners can be washed
Fmaj9/A G
in the blood of the lamb
Fmaj9/A C
there's a river by the trestle
E Am
down by Sinner's Grove
Fmaj9/A C E Am
down where the Willow and the Dogwood grows
[Chorus]

down there by the train

down there where the train

goes slow
[Verse]
C
you can hear the whistle
Fmaj9/A C
you can hear the bell
C
from the halls of heaven
Fmaj9/A G
to the gates of hell
Fmaj9/A c
there's room for the foresaken
E Am
if you're there on time
Fmaj9/A C
you'll be washed of all your sins

and all of your crimes
[Chorus]

there's a golden moon
Fmaj9/A C
that shines up through the mist
C
I know that your name
Fmaj9/A G
will be on that list
Fmaj9/A C
There's no eye for an eye
E Am
there's no tooth for a tooth
Fmaj9/A C E Am
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth
[Chorus]

down there by the train

if you've lost all your hope
Fmaj9/A C
if you've lost all your faith
C
I know you will be cared for
Fmaj9/A G
I know you will be safe
Fmaj9/A C E Am
all the shameful and all of the whores
Fmaj9/A C E Am
even the soldier who pierced the side of the lord
is
[Chorus]

down there by the train

down there by the train

well I've never asked forgiveness and
Fmaj9/A C
I've never said a prayer
C
I've never given of myself
Fmaj9/A G
I've never truly cared
Fmaj9/A C
I've hurt the ones who loved me
E Am
I'm still raising cain
Fmaj9/A C
I've taken the low road and
E Am
if you've done the same
Meet me
[Chorus]

down there by the train
C Fmaj9/A
down there by the train
Fmaj9/A C
down there by the train

goes slow
(Go nuts with this last chorus and end on C)
