Verse 1
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor) After drinking all night,
I could drink no more,
and I made my bed on the barroom floor.
I fell asleep with a troubled brain,
and dreamed I rode (D minor) on the hell
-bound train. (E major) (A minor)
The boiler was filled with liquor and beer
The (D minor) devil himself was the engineer
The (A minor) passengers were a
mixed -up crew
Church (E major) men, Atheists, Baptists, and (A minor) Jews
The rich in broadcloth wore in rags
Beau (D minor) tiful girls in wrinkled hags
Black (A minor) men, yellow men, red and white
We were (E major) chained together
and filled with (A minor) fright
An (D minor) imp was shoveling human bones
And the (A minor) furnace roared with
a thousand groans
The (D minor) train rushed on at a terrible pace
And I (A minor) shivered at the smile
on (E major) the devil's (A minor) face
Loud and terrible thunder crashed
Whiter (D minor) and brighter lightning flashed
(A minor) Hot ter still the air became
As (E major) on we rode on the hell -bound (A minor) train
Wilder and darker the country grew
Faster (D minor) and faster the engine flew
Then (A minor) came a fearful shrieking yell
Get (E major) ready, my friends,
the next stop (A minor) is hell
Then I (D minor) screamed, O devil, stop this train
And (A minor) free me from these evil chains
It's (D minor) too late now, the devil grinned
Your (A minor) soul is mine for (E major) all your (A minor) sins
You've bullied the weak,
you've scorned the poor
You've (D minor) cheated, you've lied,
you've sinned and swore
Your soul is (A minor) mine forevermore
To (E major) hell you'll go, the devil roared (A minor)
Then (D minor) I awoke with a sober cry
And (A minor) screamed, O (F major) Lord, don't (A minor) let me die
My (D minor) body was chill and
drenched with sweat
From a (A minor) terrible riot I'll never forget
So (D minor) now I pray each waking hour
to be (A minor) saved from hell and the devil's power
So (D minor) when the maker calls my name,
(A minor) I'll pay no fare on that
hell -bound train
(A minor) (D minor) (D minor) (A minor)
Hellbound Train
