Lock (F major) the doors, upstairs they creep
For (G6) it is said that the souls of the dead

Verse 1
Well a railwayman (A minor) lay dying
with his peo (F major) ple (G major) by his side (A minor)
His family were crying,
knelt in (F major) prayer before he died (E7)
But a (F major) bove his bed just a (G major) waiting for the dead
Was the (E7) Devil with a twinkle in his eye (A minor)
Well God's (F major) not around
and look what I've (G major) found,
this one's mine (A minor)
Verse 2
Just then (A minor) the Lord himself appeared
in a (F major) blinding (G major) flash of light (A minor)
And shouted at the Devil,
get thee hence (F major) to endless night (E7)
But the Dev (F major) il just grinned
and said I (G major) may have sinned
But there's no (E7) need to push me around (A minor)
I got him (F major) first so you can do your (G major) worst
He's going under (A minor) ground
Verse 3
But I (A minor) think I'll give you one more chance
Said the (F major) Devil (G major) with a smile (A minor)
So throw away that stupid lance
It's real (F major) ly not your style (E7)
(F major) Joker is the name, (G major) poker is the game
We'll (E7) play right here on this bed (A minor)
And then (F major) we'll bet for the biggest (G major) stakes yet
The souls of the (A minor) dead
Chorus 1
And I said (F major) look out, (G major) Lord, He's going to win (A minor)
The (F major) sun is down and the night (G major) is riding (A minor) in
That (F major) train is dead on time, (E7)
many (A minor) souls are on the line (D minor)
Oh (F major) Lord, (G major) He's going to win
(A minor) (D minor/A) (A minor) (D minor/A)
(A minor) (G/A) (A minor)
Verse 4
Well the (A minor) railwayman he cut the cards
And he (F major) dealt them each a (G major) hand of five (A minor)
And for the Lord, he was praying hard
Or that (F major) train he'd have to drive (E7)
Well the (F major) Devil he had three aces (G major) and a king
And the Lord, (E7) he was running for a (A minor) straight
He had the (F major) queen and the knave
and nine and (G major) ten of spades
All he needed was the (A minor) eight
Verse 5
And then the (A minor) Lord he called for one more card
But he (F major) drew the dia (G major) mond eight (A minor)
And the Devil said to the son of God
I believe (F major) you've got it straight (E7)
So deal (F major) me one for the time (G major) has come
To see (E7) who'll be the king of this place (A minor)
But (F major) as he spoke, from beneath (G major) his cloak
He slipped another (A minor) ace
Verse 6
Ten (A minor) thousand souls was the opening bid,
(F major) soon went up to (G major) fifty nine (A minor)
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did
And he said (F major) that suits me fine (E7)
I'll raise (F major) you high to a (G major) hundred and five
And for (E7) ever put an end to your (A minor) sins
But the (F major) Devil let out a mighty (G major) shout,
my hand (A minor) wins
Chorus 2
And I said (F major) Lord, oh (G major) Lord, you let him (A minor) win
The (F major) sun is down and the night (G major) is riding (A minor) in
That (F major) train is dead on time, (E7)
many (A minor) souls are on the line (D minor)
Oh (F major) Lord, (G major) don't let him win
(A minor) (D minor/A) (A minor) (D minor/A)
(A minor) (G/A) (A minor)
Bridge 2
Well that (A minor) Spanish train still runs between
(F major) Guadalquivir and old Saville
And at (G6) dead of night the whistle blows
And people (E7) fear
she's running still (A minor) (D minor/A) (A minor)
And (A minor) far away in some recess
The (F major) Lord and the Devil are now playing chess
The Devil (G6) still cheats and wins more souls
And (E7) as for the Lord,
well, he's just doing his (A minor) best
Chorus 3
And I said (F major) Lord, oh (G major) Lord, you've got to win (A minor)
The (F major) sun is down and the night (G major) is riding (A minor) in
That (F major) train is dead on time, (E7)
oh my (A minor) soul is on the (D minor) line
Oh (F major) Lord, (G major) you've got to (A minor) win
