Well, the place I know
[Ab] where the train goes [Eb] slow, where sinners get washed in the [Ab] blood
of the [Bb] lamb.
[Ab] Down the river by the [Eb] trestle, [G] where our sinners [Cm] grow.
[Ab] Down [Eb] where the old willow and [G] the [Cm] dogwood grows.
[Ab] Down there by [Eb] the train.
Down there by the [Bb] train.
Down there by [Eb] the train.
Down there by the [Ab] train.
Down there [Eb] where the 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.
[Ab] And there's room for the [Eb]
forsaken [G] if you're there [Cm] on time.
[Ab] You'll be washed [Eb] 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 [Eb] the train [Bb] goes [Eb] slow.
And the golden moon [Ab]
shines up through the [Eb] mist.
And I know that your name [Ab] will be on [Bb] that list.
[Ab] There's no eye for [Eb] an eye.
[G] There's no truth for [Cm] a truth.
[Ab] I saw [Eb] Judas the scary [G] carrying John [Cm] Wilkes Booth.
[Ab] Down [Eb] there by 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 Humpty [Eb] Jackson [G] and Jip the Blood will [Cm] sing.
[Ab] And Charlie [Eb] Whitman is holding [G] on to Dillinger's [Cm] 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] lost [Eb] all your faith,
I know you will be careful.
[Ab] I know you will [Bb] be safe.
[Ab] And all of the [Eb] shame and [G]
all of the [Cm] horrors,
[Ab]
even [Eb] a soldier [G] who pierced the heart of [Cm] the Lord
is [Ab] 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
[Eb] slow.
[Gm] I've [Eb] never asked [Ab] forgiveness, never said [Eb] a prayer.
I've never given up myself, [Ab] and I've never [Bb] truly cared.
[Ab] And I've hurt the [Eb] ones who love me, [G] and I'm still [Cm] raising Cain.
[Ab] I've taken [Eb] the low road,
[G] and if you've done [Cm] the same,
[Ab] meet me down [Eb] there by the train.
Down there by [Bb] the train.
Down [Eb] there by the train.
Down there by [Ab] the train.
Down [Eb] there where the train [Bb]
goes [Eb] slow.
[Bb]
Down there [Eb] by the train.
Down there by [Bb] the train.
Down there by [Eb] the train.
Down there [Ab] by the train.
Down there where [Eb] the train
[Bb] goes.
Down there where the [Eb] train [Db] goes, [Ab] slow.
