|-6*7-6*-5 5*..|-5-5 -5…|

-6*  7  -6*  -5 -4
Peo-ple get read-y, 
-3     -4  -5  -4  6 -6*
there's a train a-com-in' 
-5   -6*    7 -6* -5   -4
You don't need no bag-gage, 
-3   -4  -5  -5  -5
you just get on board 
-5   6  -6*  -7  -8
All you need is faith 
-3  -3  -4  -5   -4   6  -6*
to hear the die-sels hum-min' 
-8     -7 -6*  6  -5-4
Don't need no tick-et, 
-3   -4    -5   -4  -5
you just thank the Lord

People get ready for the train to Jordan 
It's picking up passengers from coast to coast 
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em 
There's hope for all among those loved the most.

-8     -7   -7 -7-6*
There ain't no room 
6    -5 -8-7   7  -7 -6*6-5
for the hope-less sin-ner
6    -5    -8  -7  -7 -6*6-5
Who would hurt all man-kind 
-5   -4 -6*6  -5 -6*
just to save his own 
-5  -6* 7 -6*  -7
Have pi-ty on those 
-5     -8   -7  7   -6*  -5
whose chanc-es grow thin-ner
-6*   -7    -8  -7 -6*  6-5
For there's no hid-ing place 
-3   -4   -5   -5    -5
from the King-dom's throne

|-5-3-5-7…|-5-3-5-7…|
-5*-3*-5*-7*…|-5*-3*-5*-5*…|
So people get ready, there's a train a comin' 
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' 
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
