Eb Ab Eb
There's a place I know where the train goes slow
Ab Bb7
Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb
Eb G Cm
There's a river by the trestle down by Sinner's Grove
Eb G Cm
Down where the willow and the dogwood grow
{chorus}

(Eb) Ab Eb
You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell
Ab Bb7
From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell
Ab Eb G Cm
And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time
Ab Eb G Cm
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

|Down there where the train goes slow
There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist
And I know that your name can be on that list
There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth
He was...
{chorus}
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...
{chorus}
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...
{chorus (twice)}
