Bridge 1
Ebm
There's a Spanish train that runs between
B
Guadalquivir and old Saville
Db
And at dead of night the whistle blows
Bb
And people hear
Ebm
Abm
Ebm
she's running still
Ebm
And then they hush their children
back to sleep
B
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep
Db
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Bb
Fill that train
Ebm
Abm
Ebm
ten thousand deep
Verse 1
Ebm
Well a railwayman lay dying
B
Db
Ebm
with his people by his side
His family were crying,
B
Bb
knelt in prayer before he died
B
Db
But above his bed just a waiting for the dead
Bb
Ebm
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye
B
Well God's not around
Db
and look what I've found,
Ebm
this one's mine
Verse 2
Ebm
Just then the Lord himself appeared
B
Db
Ebm
in a blinding flash of light
And shouted at the Devil,
B
Bb
get thee hence to endless night
B
But the Devil just grinned
Db
and said I may have sinned
Bb
Ebm
But there's no need to push me around
B
Db
I got him first so you can do your worst
Ebm
He's going underground
Verse 3
Ebm
But I think I'll give you one more chance
B
Db
Ebm
Said the Devil with a smile
So throw away that stupid lance
B
Bb
It's really not your style
B
Db
Joker is the name, poker is the game
Bb
Ebm
We'll play right here on this bed
B
Db
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet
Ebm
The souls of the dead
Chorus 1
B

Ebm
And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win
B
Db
Ebm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
B
Bb
That train is dead on time,
Ebm
Abm
many souls are on the line
B
Db
Oh Lord, He's going to win

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

Bridge 2
Ebm
Well that Spanish train still runs between
B
Guadalquivir and old Saville
Db
And at dead of night the whistle blows
Bb
And people fear
Ebm
Abm
Ebm
she's running still
Ebm
And far away in some recess
B
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess
Db
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls
Bb
And as for the Lord,
Ebm
well, he's just doing his best
Chorus 3
B
Db
Ebm
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win
B
Db
Ebm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
B
Bb
That train is dead on time,
Ebm
Abm
oh my soul is on the line
B
Db
Ebm
Oh Lord, you've got to win
