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.
