Bridge 1
Dm
There's a Spanish train that runs between
Dm
Gm
Dm
she's running still
back to sleep
Dm
Gm
Dm
ten thousand deep
Verse 1
Bb
C
Dm
with his people by his side
His family were crying,
Bb
A
knelt in prayer before he died
Bb
C
But above his bed just a waiting for the dead
A
Dm
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye
Verse 2
Bb
C
Dm
in a blinding flash of light
And shouted at the Devil,
Bb
A
get thee hence to endless night
A
Dm
But there's no need to push me around
Bb
C
I got him first so you can do your worst
Verse 3
Dm
But I think I'll give you one more chance
Bb
C
Dm
Said the Devil with a smile
So throw away that stupid lance
Bb
A
It's really not your style
Bb
C
Joker is the name, poker is the game
A
Dm
We'll play right here on this bed
Bb
C
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet
Chorus 1
Bb
C
Dm
And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win
Bb
C
Dm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
Bb
A
That train is dead on time,
Dm
Gm
many souls are on the line
Bb
C
Oh Lord, He's going to win

Verse 4
Bb
C
Dm
And he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord, he was praying hard
Bb
A
Or that train he'd have to drive
Bb
C
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king
A
Dm
And the Lord, he was running for a straight
Verse 5
Dm
And then the Lord he called for one more card
Bb
C
Dm
But he drew the diamond eight
And the Devil said to the son of God
Bb
A
I believe you've got it straight
Bb
C
So deal me one for the time has come
A
Dm
To see who'll be the king of this place
Bb
C
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak
Verse 6
Bb
C
Dm
soon went up to fifty nine
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did
Bb
A
And he said that suits me fine
Bb
C
I'll raise you high to a hundred and five
A
Dm
And forever put an end to your sins
Bb
C
But the Devil let out a mighty shout,
Chorus 2
Bb
C
Dm
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win
Bb
C
Dm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
Bb
A
That train is dead on time,
Dm
Gm
many souls are on the line
Bb
C
Oh Lord, don't let him win

Bridge 2
Dm
Well that Spanish train still runs between
Dm
Gm
Dm
she's running still
Bb
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess
Chorus 3
Bb
C
Dm
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win
Bb
C
Dm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
Bb
A
That train is dead on time,
Dm
Gm
oh my soul is on the line
Bb
C
Dm
Oh Lord, you've got to win
