G          Em              C       G
People get ready there's a train a coming
                  Em               C      G
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
                     Em                C      G
All you need is some faith to hear the diesel humming
             Em              C         G
Don't need a ticket you just thank the Lord

Verse 2

               Em           C        G
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
             Em          C                 G
Have pity on those whose chance is growing thinner
                  Em                C         G
There's no hiding place against the kingdom's throne

People get ready there's a train a coming

You don't need a ticket you just thank the Lord
