I had
Gm a job,
Bb I had a girl, I had something
F going on in this world.
I got a
G daughter, a
F lovely
Bb daughter, I had
F a little man, a nice young man.
Eb Now I work at
F the car wash, where I would never _
Gm disappoint.

She said,
Gm Joe, _ I got
Bb to go.
We had
F one swing, got it anymore.
She packed
Gm her bag, left me
Bb behind.
She bought
F a ticket on the Central Line.
Nights as
Eb I sleep, I hear that whistle
F whining.
I feel a kiss in the
Gm misty rain.
And I
Eb feel
Bb like
F I'm alive,
Gm all about _
F my friend.

G Last night I heard
Bb your voice, you were crying,
F crying, you were so alone.
You said your
Gm love had never
Bb died, you were
F waiting for me at home.
But on my
Gm jacket, I ran through the
Bb woods, I rambled, I thought
F my chest would explode.
_ .
There in
Gm a clearing _ beyond the
Bb highway, in the
F moonlight, I went and I was shown.
I rushed through the
Gm yard, I burst through the
Bb front door, my head pounding
F hard, up the stairs I climbed.
The room was
Gm dark, our bed was
Bb empty, then I
F heard a long list of whines.
And I
Eb dropped to my knees on my head
Bb in the ground.
_ _ .
I
Eb swing, sway,
Gm around my
F railroad gang, knocking down the cross that's working in
Gm a van.
Dm I don't
Eb feel like
F a rat,
Eb all _ about
F my friend.
