People get ready there's a train a coming

E MajorE         C# minorC#m       A augmentedA   E MajorE    Esus2Esus2
You don't need no baggage you just get on board

E MajorE        C# minorC#m      A augmentedA    E MajorE      Esus2Esus2
All you need is faith to hear diesels humming

Yeah yeah yeah

E MajorE     C# minorC#m     A augmentedA     E MajorE     Esus2Esus2

People get ready for the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key open the doors and board them
There's room for all of the loved and lost

(instrumental verse--same chords)

Now there ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place from the kingdom's throne

Oh people get ready there's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord

(Play verse chords over the "I'm getting ready"s)
