C
The devil's train is long and black 
                     Am
It rides on rails of tears 
     C
It's headin' for destruction now 
       G7        C
With a drunken engineer
C
Oh see the greatness of the crowd 
                      Am
That waits beside the track 
        C
They're leaving on that devil's train 
          G7     C
And never coming back 
*CHORUS*:
C
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train 
                 G7
Before it is too late 
    C
And teach them how to bow their heads 
            G7         C
Before 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 
                G7      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 spoutin' steam 
             G7     C
She's on her way to doom 
*CHORUS*:
C
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train 
                 G7
Before it is too late 
    C
And teach them how to bow their heads 
            G7         C
Before they seal their fate
C
The devil's train is long and black 
                  Am
It's beautiful to see 
   C
It offers you temptation but 
               G7  C
It brings you mis-ery 
So come and ride that glorious train 
                   Am
Where happiness is free 
     C
It's on its way to heaven now 
          G7   C
To spend eter-nity 
*CHORUS*:
C
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train 
                 G7
Before it is too late 
    C
And teach them how to bow their heads 
            G7         C
Before they seal their fate
