There's a place I know [G] where the train [D] goes slow, where the sinner can be washed [G]
in the
[A] blood of the lamb.
[D] There's a river by the trestle [G] down by sinners grow, down where [D] the willow [A] and the [G] dogwood grow.
[D] You [G] can [D] hear the whistle, [G] you can [D] hear the bell, from the halls of heaven [G] to the [A] gates of hell.
[G] And there's room for [D] the forsaken if you're [G] there on time.
[D] You'll be washed of all your sins [G] and all of your crimes.
[F#] If [D] you're down there by the train,
[A] [E] down there [F#m] by the train, [F#] [D] down there by the train,
[Gm] down by the train, [D] [A] down where the train [D] goes slow.
There's a golden moon [G] that shines up [D] through the mist
And I know that your name
[G] can be on [A] that list
There's [D] no eye for an eye, there's [G] no tooth for a tooth
I [D] saw Judas Iscariot [A] carrying [C#m] John [G] Wilkes Booth
He [D] was down there by the train, [A] down there by the train
[C#m] [D] Down there by the train, [G] down there by the train
[D] He was down there where the train [A] [Em]
[D] goes slow
If you've lost all your hope, [G]
if you've lost [D] all your faith
I know you can be cared for [G] and I know [A] you can be safe
[D]
And all the [G] shamefuls and all of the whores
[D] And even the soldier [A] who pierced the [E] side [G] of the Lord
[D] Is down there by the train, [Am] [E] down there [A] by the train
[D] Down there
[Gm]
[D] where the train [A] goes [Em] [D]
slow
Well I've never asked forgiveness and [G]
I've never [D] said a prayer, never given of myself,
[G]
never [A] truly cared.
[D] I've left the ones who love me and [G] I'm still raising cane.
[D] I've taken the low [A] road and if you've [G] done the same,
meet [A] me down [D] there by the train,
[A] down there by the train,
[D] down there by the train, [G]
down there by the train,
[D]
down there where the train [A]
goes [D] slow.
Meet me down there by the train, [A] down there by the train,
[D] down there by the train, [G] down there by the train,
[D] down there where the train [A] [D] goes slow.

in the
[A] blood of the lamb.
[D] There's a river by the trestle [G] down by sinners grow, down where [D] the willow [A] and the [G] dogwood grow.
[D] You [G] can [D] hear the whistle, [G] you can [D] hear the bell, from the halls of heaven [G] to the [A] gates of hell.

[F#] If [D] you're down there by the train,
[A] [E] down there [F#m] by the train, [F#] [D] down there by the train,
[Gm] down by the train, [D] [A] down where the train [D] goes slow.
There's a golden moon [G] that shines up [D] through the mist
And I know that your name
[G] can be on [A] that list
There's [D] no eye for an eye, there's [G] no tooth for a tooth

[C#m] [D] Down there by the train, [G] down there by the train
[D] He was down there where the train [A] [Em]
[D] goes slow
If you've lost all your hope, [G]
if you've lost [D] all your faith
I know you can be cared for [G] and I know [A] you can be safe
[D]
And all the [G] shamefuls and all of the whores
[D] And even the soldier [A] who pierced the [E] side [G] of the Lord
[D] Is down there by the train, [Am] [E] down there [A] by the train
[D] Down there
[Gm]
[D] where the train [A] goes [Em] [D]
slow
Well I've never asked forgiveness and [G]

[G]
never [A] truly cared.

[A] down there by the train,
[D] down there by the train, [G]
down there by the train,
[D]
down there where the train [A]
goes [D] slow.
Meet me down there by the train, [A] down there by the train,
[D] down there by the train, [G] down there by the train,
[D] down there where the train [A] [D] goes slow.
