_ _ _ _ Well, the place I know _ _ [Ab] where the train [Eb] goes slow,
_ _ _ where sinners can be washed in the [Ab] blood of the [Bb]
Lamb.
_ _ _ [Ab] There's a river by the [Eb] _ trestle, [G] home where sinners [Cm] grow.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Down where [Eb] the old willow [G] and the _ [Cm] dogwood grows.
[Ab] Down there by the train. _
_ Down there by the [Bb] train. _
_ Down there by _ [Eb] the train.
_ Down there by the [Ab] train.
_ _ Down there where the [Eb] train _ _ [Bb] _ goes _ [Eb] slow.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You can hear the whistle.
_ [Ab] You can hear [Eb] the bell. _
From the halls of heaven [Ab] to the gates of [Bb] hell.
_ _ And [Ab] there's room for the [Eb] forsaken _ [G] if you're there [Cm] on time.
_ _ [Ab] _
You'll be washed of all your sins [G] and all of [Cm] your crimes.
[Ab] Down there by [Eb] the train.
_ _ Down there by [Bb] the train.
_ Down there [Eb] by the train.
Down there by [Ab] the train.
_ Down there where the train _ _ [Bb] _
goes _ [Eb] _ slow. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And the golden moon [Ab] _ shines up to the [Eb] mist.
_ And I know that your name will be _ on that [Bb] list. _
[Ab] There's no eye for [Eb] an eye.
[G] There's no truth for a [Cm] truth.
_ [Ab] I saw Judas [Eb] _ Iscariot [G] _
carrying John [Cm] Wick's [Ab] boot.
Down there by [Eb] the train.
_ _ Down there by [Bb] the train.
_ _ Down there [Eb] by the train.
_ Down there by [Ab] the train.
_ Down there where [Eb] the train _ [Bb] _ goes _ _ [Eb] slow. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So if you live in darkness, [Ab] if you live in [Eb] shame,
_ _ all of the passengers [Ab] will be treated [Bb] the same.
_ [Ab] Oh, and old [Eb] Humpty Jackson, [G] Jip the Blood, will [Cm]
sing.
_ And [Ab] _ Charlie [Eb]
Whitman is holding [G] on to _ _ [Cm] Dillinger's wings.
[Ab] Down there [Eb] by the train. _ _
Down there by [Bb] the train. _ _
Down there by [Eb] the train.
Down there by [Ab] the train. _ _
Down there where [Eb] the train _ _
[Bb] _ _ goes [Eb] _ slow. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So if you lost all your hope, [Ab] _ _
[Eb] lost all your faith,
_ I know you will be careful.
[Ab] I know you will [Bb] be safe.
And all of [Eb] the shame, _ [G] and all [Cm] of the _ _ horrors,
[Ab] _ even [Eb] a soldier _ [G] who pierced the heart of [Cm] the Lord,
[Ab] is down there [Eb] by the train. _
_ Down there [Bb] by the train. _
Down there [Eb] by the train.
_ Down there [Ab] by the train.
Down there where the [Eb] train _ [Bb] goes slow.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] I've never asked forgiveness, [Ab] _
never said [Eb] a prayer.
_ _ [Eb] I've never given up myself, [Ab] and I've never [Bb] truly cared.
_ [Ab] And I've hurt the [Eb] ones who love _ [G] me, and I'm still [Cm] raising King.
_ [Ab] _ I've taken [Eb] the low road, _ [G] and if you've done [Cm] the same,
[Ab] meet me down there by [Eb] the train.
_ _ _ Down there by [Bb] the train.
_ Down there by [Eb] the train.
_ Down there by [Ab]
the train.
_ Down [Eb] there where the train _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] goes slow.
_ _ [Bb] Down there by the train.
_ Down there by [Bb] the train.
_ Down there by [Eb] the train.
_ _ _ Down [Ab] there by the train.
Down there where [Eb] the train _ _ _ [Bb] goes. _ _
_ Down there where the train _ goes _ _ [Ab] slow. _ _
_ _ _ Ooh.
