__Downbound_Train__ 

 
 

This_song_is_relatively_easy,_play_Gm_throughout_the_whole_song_hammering_on_and_off_on_ 

A_and_D_strings._You_could_also_strum_Dm_and_go_Back_to_Gm_if_you_think_it_sounds_better. 

 
 

Since_this_is_pretty_much_a_one_chord_song,_it_might_be_easier_to_play_if_you_put_a_capo_ 

the_second_fret_and_play_Em_instead_of_playing_Gm. 

 
 

 
 

___Lyrics:___ 

 
 

A_stranger_lying_on_a_bar_room_floor 

Had_drank_so_much_he_could_drink_no_more, 

So_he_fell_asleep_with_a_troubled_brain 

To_dream_that_he_rode_on_that_down_bound_train. 

 
 

The_engine_with_blood_was_sweaty_and_damp 

And_brilliantly_lit_with_a_brimstone_lamp, 

And_imps_for_fuel_were_shovelling_bones 

While_the_furnace_rang_with_a_thousand_groans. 

 
 

The_boiler_was_filled_with_lager_beer 

The_devil_himself_was_the_engineer, 

 
 

The_passengers_were_most_a_motley_crew, 

Some_were_foreigners_and_others_he_knew. 

Rich_men_in_broadcloth,_beggars_in_rags 

Handsome_young_ladies_and_wicked_old_hags. 

 
 

As_the_train_rushed_on_at_a_terrible_pace 

Sulphuric_fumes_scorched_their_hands_and_face, 

Wider_and_wider_the_country_grew 

Faster_and_faster_the_engine_flew, 

Louder_and_louder_the_thunder_crashed 

 
 

Brighter_and_brighter_the_lighting_flashed, 

 
 

Hotter_and_hotter_the_air_became 

Till_their_clothes_were_burned 

and_they_were_screaming_with_pain. 

Then_out_of_the_distance_there_came_a_yell 

Ha_ha_said_the_devil_were_nearing_home, 

 
 

Oh_how_the_passengers_shrieked_with_pain 

And_begged_old_Satan_to_stop_that_train. 

 
 

The_stranger_awoke_with_an_anguished_cry 

His_clothes_wet_with_sweat_and_his_hair_standing_high, 

He_fell_on_his_knees_on_the_bar_room_floor 

And_prayed_a_prayer_like_never_before. 

 
 

And_the_prayers_and_vows_were_not_in_vain 

For_he_never_rode_that_down_bound_train.
