Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.
Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.

GmBb I had a job, I had a girl F I had something going mister in this world GmBb I got laid off down at the lumber yard F Our love went bad, times got hard EbF Now I work down at the carwash Gm Where all it ever does is rain EbFGmEbF Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
GmBb She just said "Joe I gotta go F We had it once we ain't got it any more" GmBb She packed her bags left me behind F She bought a ticket on the Central Line EbF Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining Gm I feel her kiss in the misty rain EbFGmEbF And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

GmBb Last night I heard your voice F You were crying you were so alone GmBb You said your love had never died F You were waiting for me at home GmBb Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods F I ran till I thought my chest would explode GmBb There in the clearing, beyond the highway F In the moonlight, our wedding house shone GmBb I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door F My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed GmBb The room was dark, our bed was empty F Then I heard that long whistle whine EbBb And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
EbF Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang Gm Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain EbFGmEbF Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
