DOWN THERE BY THE TRAIN
There's a plCace I kC7now, Where the trFain goes sClow
Where the siCnners can be waCshed, In the blFood of the lG7amb
There's a riFver by the treCstle, OFver by Sinners GrFove
DCown where the wiC7llow and the doG7gwood gFrow C
DCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown ther by the train, DFown there by the train
DCown there, Where the train gG7oes sClow
You can hFear the whiCstle, YFou can hear the bCell
From the hCalls of heC7aven, To the gaFtes of hG7ell
And there's rFoom for the forsaCken, If you're there on tFime
You'll be waCshed of all your sC7ins and aFll of your crimes
If you're dCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown there by the train, DFown there by the train
DCown there, Where the train, gG7oes sClow
ThCere's a golden mC7oon that shFines up throught the mCist
And I kCnow that your nCame, Will be Fon that lG7ist
There's no eFye for an eCye, There's no toFoth for a tFooth
I saw JuCdas Iscariot carrying JG7ohn Wilkes BoFoth
He was dCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown there by the train, DFown there by the train
He was dCown where the train gG7oes sClow
So Cif you live in darC7kness, And FIf you live in shCame
ACll of the pasC7sengers, Will be trFeated the sG7ame
Oh, And oFld Humpty JacCkson, And GFyp the Blood will sFing
And ChaCrlie Witten is holding on to DiG7llenger's wFings
They're both dCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown there by the train, DFown there by the train
DCown there where the train gG7oes sClow
If you've lCost all your hC7ope, If you've lFost all your faCith
I kCnow you can be cC7ared for, And I kFnow you can be sG7afe
And aFll of the shCamefulls, And aFll of the whFores
And eCven the soldier who pierced the sG7ide of the LFord
Is dCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown there by the train, DFown there by the train
DCown there where the train gG7oes sClow
Well I've never asCked for forgivness, I've neFver said a prCayer
Never giCven of myC7self, And I've neFver truly caG7red
And I've hFurt the ones who loCved me, And IF'm still raising CFain
I've taCken the low road, And if yG7ou have done the sFame
Meet me dCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown there by the train, DFown there by the train
DCown there where the train gG7oes sFlow
Meet me dCown there by the train, DG7own there by the train
DCown there by the train, DFown there by the train
DCown there where the train gG7oes sFlow
