View chords used in this chart
C
The devil's train is long and black
Am
It rides on rails of tears
C
It's headed for destruction now,
G C
With a drunken engin-eer
C
Oh, see the greatness of the crowd
Am
That waits beside the track
C
They're leaving on that devil's train
G C
And never coming back
[Refrão]C
Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
G
Before it is too late
C
And teach them how to bow their heads
Am G C
Be-fore they seal their fate
C
The devil's train will take you to
Am
A land of groans and pain
C
You'll spend your days in sorrow if
G C
You ride that devil's train
C
Oh, listen to that whistle scream
Am
Like echoes from the blue
C
The throttle's wide and spouting steam
G C
She's on her way to doom
Chorus
C
The devil's train is long and black
Am
It's beautiful to see
C
It offers you temptation but
G C
It brings you miser-y
C
So come and ride that glorious train
Am
Where happiness is free
C
It's on its way to heaven now
G C
To spend eternit-y
Chorus
