[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E
I wanna go to heaven on the 21-07
B7
Or get me to the pearly gates aboard the 21-08
E A E
But either way, I'm heading on a loco made in Reading
B7 E
At the station, I will greet her on the way to meet Saint Peter
[Verse 2]
E A E
Yes, I'm the rail-riding pastor, hey, make this train go faster
B7
I'm heading for my last reward, so come on, all aboard
E A E
If I must stoke the fires of Satan, I'll do it while I'm waiting
B7 A E
On the tender on the train to kingdom come
[Chorus]
A E
Yes, I'm the rail-riding pastor
B7 E
And I'm off to see my master
E
I'll welcome heaven's bounty
B7 E
Fueled by coal from Schuylkill County
[Verse 2]
E A E
My heart's been in the pulpit, but my head's been in the cockpit
B7
Of a great big 484 that's glory-bound
E A E
I wanna offer an epistle to the sound of a choo-choo whistle
B7 A E
As it echoes through the hills of paradise
[Chorus 2]
A E
Yes, I'm the rail-riding pastor
B7 E
And I'm off to see my master
E
Bless me, Lord, my time is nigh
B7 A
For that train yard in the sky
E
