[Verse 1]
GmThere's a train station inside of this train
N.C.
Where the people go to try and escape
N.C.
And with anxious eyes, we stand in line
N.C.
Til' the cold ground shakes
N.C.
To tell us it's time for the trains
N.C.
Yes it's time for the trains to stop
GmSome were sEbteel, anBbd some were Ebgold
GmAnd each Ebconductor Bbraved
They shouteGmd "buy your Ebtickets
BbSave your sEbouls!"
GmBut one cEbonductor sBbang:
[Chorus]
He shouted, Eb"You! Come Bbfollow me!Eb  
BbI'll buy your Ebtickets and I'll Bbpay your feesEb  
Cause BbIIIEbI know what Bbyou costEb  
Believe me wiBbthout this Ebtrain you wiBbll be lost!"
[Verse 2]
N.C.
So the rich men laughed and they walked away
N.C.
But the poor ones felt that they should stay
N.C.
So they pulled all of their friends, they told even strangers til there were ten
N.C.
Thousands of people said "come let us see this scandalous train that claims to be free
N.C.
Just let him speak."

Gm
[Verse 3]
N.C.
The soldiers rushed in like a flood
N.C.
Wild eyed, looking for blood
N.C.
They said, "Show us the one who lies, decieves
N.C.
And claims his trains of grace are free
N.C.
Cause we'll take his body to the track
N.C.
And nail him there so he never comes back
N.C.
Yeah we'll take his body to the track
N.C.
And nail him there so he never comes back."
