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.

EmGDD I had a job, I had a girl I had something going mister in this world EmGDD I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard Cmaj7DDEm Now I work down at the carwash Where all it ever does is rain CDEmD Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
[Verse 2]
EmGDD She just said "Joe I gotta go We had it once we ain't got it anymore" EmGDD She packed her bags left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line Cmaj7DDEm Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel her kiss in the misty rain CDEmD And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

[Verse 3]
EmGDD Last night I heard your voice You’re crying, crying you were so alone EmGDD You said your love had never died You were waiting for me at home EmGD Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran till I thought my chest DEmC would explode There in the clearing, beyond the highway DEm In the moonlight, our wedding house shone I rushed through the yard, GDD I burst through the front door My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed EmGDD The room was dark, our bed was empty Then I heard that long whistle whine Cmaj7G And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
CD Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang DEm Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain CDEmD Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
