Down There By the Train
guitar chords lyrics
(slow strumming)
D D7 G D
There's a place I know where the train goes slow
D7 G A
Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb
D D7 G D
There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove
D7 A7 G D
Down where the willow and the dog - wood grow
G D G D
You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell
D7 G A7
From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell
G D A7 D
And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time
D7 G
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes ...if you're...
(start alternating bass/thumbpicking)
Chorus:
D
Down there by the train
A7
Down there by the train
D
Down there by the train
G
Down there by the train
D A7 D
Down there where the train goes slow
D D7 G D
There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist
D D7 G A7
And I know that your name can be on that list
D D7 G D
There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth
D D7 A7 G
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth... he was...
chorus
D D7 G D
If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
D D7 G A7
I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe
D D7 G D
And all the shamefuls and all of the whores
D7 A7 G
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord
chorus
D D7 G D
Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
D7 G A7
Never given of myself, never truly cared
D D7 G D
I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain
D7 A7 G
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same... meet me...
