DOWN THERE BY THE TRAIN

E E7 A E
There's a place I know, Where the train goes slow
E E A B7
Where the sinners can be washed, In the blood of the lamb
A E A A
There's a river by the trestle, Over by Sinners Grove
E E7 B7 A E
Down where the willow and the dogwood grow

E B7
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down ther by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 E
Down there, Where the train goes slow

A E A E
You can hear the whistle, You can hear the bell
E E7 A B7
From the halls of heaven, To the gates of hell
A E A
And there's room for the forsaken, If you're there on time
E E7 A
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

E B7
If you're down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 E
Down there, Where the train, goes slow

E E7 A E
There's a golden moon that shines up throught the mist
E E A B7
And I know that your name, Will be on that list
A E A A
There's no eye for an eye, There's no tooth for a tooth
E B7 A
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth

E B7
He was down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 E
He was down where the train goes slow

E E7 A E
So if you live in darkness, And If you live in shame
E E7 A B7
All of the passengers, Will be treated the same
A E A A
Oh, And old Humpty Jackson, And Gyp the Blood will sing
E B7 A
And Charlie Witten is holding on to Dillenger's wings

E B7
They're both down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 E
Down there where the train goes slow

E E7 A E
If you've lost all your hope, If you've lost all your faith
E E7 A B7
I know you can be cared for, And I know you can be safe
A E A A
And all of the shamefulls, And all of the whores
E B7 A
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord

E B7
Is down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 E
Down there where the train goes slow

E A E
Well I've never asked for forgivness, I've never said a prayer
E E7 A B7
Never given of myself, And I've never truly cared
A E A A
And I've hurt the ones who loved me, And I'm still raising Cain
E B7 A
I've taken the low road, And if you have done the same

E B7
Meet me down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 A
Down there where the train goes slow

E B7
Meet me down there by the train, Down there by the train
E A
Down there by the train, Down there by the train
E B7 A
Down there where the train goes slow
