Verse 1
Billie (G major)
loved to sit beneath (D major) the bridge,
wait (E minor) ing for the train by the (C major) Blue Ridge.
He'd (G major) never been on it,
but he loved (D major) to hear its whistle blowin'. (C major)
Then Mama (G major) called him home,
cause Daddy (D major) was ill
Daddy handed (E minor) him his Bible,
said it's yours (C major) now Bill
Keep it (G major) close to your heart,
say good (D major) bye now
Cause Daddy's (C major) going
Bill (G major) is trying to call him,
Bill is (D major) trying to call him (E minor)
(C major) While he (G major) read the book,
the words be (D major) came so real
Yet he (E minor) couldn't escape the
pain (C major) he'd feel
Sometimes (G major) he dreamed of
jumpin' that train
(D major) and just riding (C major) away
Then the (G major) ground would tremble
and he'd (D major) close his eyes
Felt like (E minor) footsteps of angels in (C major) the skies
As the (G major) whistle grew louder
he could (D major) hear his daddy say (C major)
Billy (G major) there's a time your (D major) train will come
On a (E minor) chilly night it will take (C major) you home
That long (G major) train whistle will blow
(D major) and everybody will (C major) know
Billy (G major) don't cry,
no more (D major) need for tears
You can (E minor) leave them behind
with these heartache (C major) years
Cause (G major) there's no pain on this (D major) train
where you're (C major) going
Forty (G major) -two, Billy got to (D major) ride the train
Cause you can (E minor) 't stay
when your country call (C major) s your name
Left (G major) behind his mama
and (D major) his sweet Daisy (C major) Mae
Ly (G major) ing in the trenches,
Billy knew (D major) he was dead
But the Bib (E minor) le in his pocket
took the (C major) bullet instead
Surroun (G major) ded by angels,
this (D major) just wasn't to be his (C major) day
Billy, (G major) there's a time your (D major) train will come
On a (E minor) chilly night it will take (C major) you home
That long (G major) train whistle will blow
(D major) and everybody will (C major) know
But (G major) Billy don't cry,
no more (D major) need for tears
You can (E minor) leave them behind
with these heartaches (C major)
Cause (G major) there's no pain on this (D major) train
where you're (C major) going
Yeah, (G major) this train's coming,
this (D major) train's coming (E minor) (C major)
Billy (G major) got tired at 87 (D major) in a hos (E minor) pital bed,
one foot (C major) in heaven,
like (G major) a choir of angels
he (D major) could hear that whistle (C major) blowin'.
With (G major) Daisy Mae gone for (D major) 20 years,
(E minor) Billy known more than his (C major) shared tears,
in the (G major) words of
He (D major) heard, son, it's time (C major) to go
Billy, (G major) there's a time your (D major) train will come
On a (E minor) chilly night, we'll take (C major) you home
That long (G major) train whistle will blow
(D major) And everybody will (C major) know
But (G major) Billy, don't cry,
no more (D major) need for tears
You can (E minor) leave him behind
with these heartaches (C major)
Cause (G major) there's no pain
on this (D major) train
where you're go (C major) ing
It's the ride (G major) of your life,
it's a heav (D major) enly train
It's the pas (E minor) sage of death,
but don't (C major) be afraid
Cause you (G major) know where
(D major) this train's (C major) go ing
Billy, (G major) there's a time
your train (D major) will come
A (E minor) chilly night will take (C major) you
That long (G major) train whistle will blow
(D major) and everybody will (C major) know (D major)
(C major)
