                      DOWN THERE BY THE TRAIN

E E7 A EThere's a place I know, Where the train goes slow
E E A B7Where the sinners can be washed, In the blood of the lamb
A E A AThere's a river by the trestle, Over by Sinners Grove
E E7 B7 A EDown where the willow and the dogwood grow
E B7Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown ther by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 EDown there, Where the train goes slow
A E A EYou can hear the whistle, You can hear the bell
E E7 A B7From the halls of heaven, To the gates of hell
A E AAnd there's room for the forsaken, If you're there on time
E E7 AYou'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes
E B7If you're down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 EDown there, Where the train, goes slow
E E7 A EThere's a golden moon that shines up throught the mist
E E A B7And I know that your name, Will be on that list
A E A AThere's no eye for an eye, There's no tooth for a tooth
E B7 AI saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth
E B7He was down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 EHe was down where the train goes slow
E E7 A ESo if you live in darkness, And If you live in shame
E E7 A B7All of the passengers, Will be treated the same
A E A AOh, And old Humpty Jackson, And Gyp the Blood will sing
E B7 AAnd Charlie Witten is holding on to Dillenger's wings
E B7They're both down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 EDown there where the train goes slow
E E7 A EIf you've lost all your hope, If you've lost all your faith
E E7 A B7I know you can be cared for, And I know you can be safe
A E A AAnd all of the shamefulls, And all of the whores
E B7 AAnd even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord
E B7Is down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 EDown there where the train goes slow
E A EWell I've never asked for forgivness, I've never said a prayer
E E7 A B7Never given of myself, And I've never truly cared
A E A AAnd I've hurt the ones who loved me, And I'm still raising Cain
E B7 AI've taken the low road, And if you have done the same
E B7Meet me down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 ADown there where the train goes slow
E B7Meet me down there by the train, Down there by the train
E ADown there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 ADown there where the train goes slow
