Verse 3:


        Th[Eb]ere ain't no r[Cm]oom [Ab/Bb]    for the hopeless s[Eb]inner


        Who would h[Eb]urt all mank[Cm]ind just to [Ab/Bb]save his o[Eb]wn


        Have p[Eb]ity on t[Cm]hose whose [Ab/Bb]chances grow t[Eb]hinner


        For there's[Gm] no hiding p[Fm]lace against the K[Ab]ingdom's th[Eb]rone


(repeat verse 1 in D):


        So people get ready, there's a train a comin'


        You don't need no baggage, you just get on board


        All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'


        F#m            Em              (N.C.)
