I had a vision plain and true
Bb
Saw something that few people do
Cm
And Lord God I think I've seen enough
I had a vision true and plain
Bb
That cracked broken rusty ghost train
Fm Cm
That once you're on you can't get off
Bb Gm Cm
I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes
Bb Gm Cm
I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes
This train, this train, this train, this train
Old iron-bearing down like wind
Bb
It's built by ruin and run on sin
Fm Cm
It had no start it has no end
Every face it looks the same
Bb
No one can tell from where they came
Fm Cm
Nobody knows what's round the bend
Bb Gm Cm
I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes
Bb Gm Eb D
Looking down from the train through those busted window panes
Fm Eb Cm
They were calling out my name, 'Boy, you're next.'
This train, this train, this train, this train
G Bb Fm Cm
This train ain't bound for glory, and I don't want to go no no no
Lord have mercy let that ghost train pass me
Bb Fm Cm
Curse its rails to the weeds and the rust
Tell me once again that old story
Bb Fm Cm
Cure the pride and cure the flesh and cure the lust
Bb Gm Cm
I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes
Bb Gm Eb D
Captured souls that test the ground, across the line, were never found
Fm Eb Cm
They were reaching out their hands from the wrecks
This train, this train, this train, this train

This train ain't bound for glory, and I don't want to go no no no

This train ain't bound for glory, and I don't want to go no no no
