[G]
[Dm]
[C] [Dm]
[C]
[Dm] There's a [D] Spanish train that runs between [Bb] Guadalquivir and Old Seville.
[Am] And at dead of night the whistle blows [Gbm] and people hear.
She's running [Dm] still.
[D] And then they hush their children back to sleep.
[Bb] Lock the doors, upstairs they creep.
[C] For it is said that the souls of the dead [A] fill that train
[Ab] ten [D] thousand deep.
Well, a railway man lay dying with [Bb] his [C] people by his [D] side.
His family were crying, knelt [Bb] in prayer before he [A] died.
[Bb] But above his bed, [C] just awaiting for the dead, was [A] the devil with a twinkle [D] in his eye.
[Bb] Well, God's not around [C] and look what I've found.
[Ab] This one's [D] mine!
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light.
And shouted at the devil,
Get me [Bb] hence to [A] endless night!
[Bb] But the devil just grinned and [C] said,
I may have sinned, but [A] there's no need to push [N] me around.
[Bb] I got in first, so you can do [F] your worst.
[C]
Easy going, [D] undergrad!
I think I'll give you one more chance, [Bb] said the devil.
[D] With a smile,
[Bb] [D] Now throw away that stupid lance.
[Bb] It's really not your [A] style.
[Bb] Joker is the name, [C] poker is the [A] game.
We'll play right here on [D] this bed.
[Bb] [C] The biggest stakes yet,
The souls [Dm] of the dead.
[Bb] And I said, look out!
[C] Lord, he's [D] gonna win!
[G] [D] [Bb] Sun is [C] down, it's [D] Friday.
[Dm]
[Bb] That train is dead [A] on time.
[Dm] Many souls are [Gm] on line.
Oh [Bb] Lord, [C] he's gonna [D] win!
Well, the railway man, he cut the cards.
And [Bb] he dealt them [C] each a [D] hand of five.
And for the Lord, he was praying hard.
[Bb] For that train he'd have [A] to drive.
[Bb] Well, the devil, he had three [C] aces and a king.
And the [A] Lord, he was running [D] for a straight.
He had [Bb] the queen and the knave, [C] a nine, a ten, a spate.
All he needed [D] was the eight.
And then the Lord, he called for one more card.
[Bb] But he [C] drew the diamond, [D] eh?
And the devil said to the Son of God,
I [Bb] believe you've got it [A] straight.
[Bb] Said, deal me one.
[C] The time has come to see [A] who'll be the king of this [D] place.
[Bb] But as he spoke from [C] beneath his cloak,
[Ab] He slipped [D] another ace.
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid.
[Gm] Soon [C] went up to fifty [Dm]-nine.
But the Lord didn't see what the devil did.
[Bb] And he said, that suits me [A] fine.
[Eb] I'll raise you high [F] to a [C] hundred and five.
[Am] And forever put [E] an end to [D] your sins.
But the [Bb] devil let out a mighty [C] shout,
[D] I have won!
And [Bb] I said, Lord, [C] oh Lord, [D] let it work.
[Bb] The sun is [C] down and the night is [Dm] bright.
And [C] if [Dm] [Bb] that train is dead on [A] time,
[Dm] Many souls draw [Gm] the line, [Bb] oh Lord.
[C] So let [D] him win.
Well, that Spanish train still runs between
[Bb] Guadalquivir and Old Seville.
[C] And at dead of night the whistle blows,
[A] And people fear she's [Dm] running still.
And far away in some recess,
[Bb] The Lord and the devil are now playing chess.
[C] The devil still cheats and wins more souls.
[A] And as for the Lord, well,
He's just doing his [Dm] best.
And I [Bb] said, Lord, [C] oh Lord, you've got [Dm] to win.
[Bb] The sun is down [C] and the night is [Dm] bright.
And if [Bb] that train is still on [A] time,
All [Dm] my soul is [Gm] on the line, [Bb] oh Lord.
[C] You've got [Dm] to win.
