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 

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 
  
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 is long and black 
                  Am 
It's beautiful to see 
   C 
It offers you temptation but 
   G               C 
It brings you misery 
 
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 
 
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
