Down There by the Train Johnny Cash
Written by Tom Waits
Published by Jalma Music Inc. ASCAP
There's a [E]place I know[E7] where the [A]train goes [E]slow
Where the sinner can be washed in the [A]blood of the [B7]lamb
There's a [E]river by the [E7]trestle down by [A]Sinner's Grove
Down where the [E]willow and the [B7]dogwood [A]grow[E]
You can [A]hear the whist[E]le, [A]you can hear the [E]bell
From the halls of [E7]heaven to the gates of [B7]hell
And there's [A]room for the forsa[E]ken if you're there on [A]time
You'll be [E]washed of all your [E7]sins and [A]all of your crimes
| E
|If you're down there by the train
|B7
|Down there by the train
|E
|Down there by the train
|A
|Down there by the train
|E B7 E
|Down there where the train goes slow
There's a go[E]lden moo[E7]n that [A]shines up through the mist[E]
And I know that your na[E7]me [A]can be on that lis[B]t
There's no [E]eye for an eye[E7], there's no [A]tooth for a tooth
I saw [E]Judas Iscariot carrying [B7]John Wilkes Booth[A]
He was...
If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe
And all the shamefuls and all of the whores
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord
Is...
Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
Never given of myself, never truly cared
I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same
Meet me...
