Dm |
There's a Spanish train that runs |
Bb |
Between Quadelquidir |
And old Seville |
C |
And at dead of night the whistle |
A7 |
Blows and people hear |
Dm |
She's running still |
Dm |
And then they hush their children |
Back to sleep |
Bb |
Lock the doors upstairs they creep |
C |
For it is said that the souls |
A7 |
Of the dead fill up the train |
Dm |
Ten thousand deep |
Dm |
Well a railway-man lay dying |
Bb C Dm |
With his people by his side |
Dm |
His family were crying knelt |
Bb A7 |
In prayer before he died |
Bb C |
But above his bed just awaiting |
For the dead was the |
A7 |
Devil with a twinkle in |
Dm |
His eye |
Bb |
'Well, God's not around look |
C Dm |
what I've found? This one's mine' |
Dm |
Just then the Lord himself |
Bb |
Appeared in a blinding |
C Dm |
Flash of light |
And shouted at the devil |
Bb A7 |
'get thee hence to endless night' |
Bb |
But the devil just grinned |
C |
And said 'I may have sinned |
A7 |
But there's no need to |
Dm |
Push me around |
Bb C |
I got here first so you can do |
Your worst |
Dm |
He's going under ground' |
Dm |
'Well I think I'll give you |
One more chance' |
Bb C Dm |
Said the devil with a smile |
Dm |
So throw away that stupid lance |
Bb A7 |
'It's really not your style' |
Bb |
Joker is the name |
C |
Poker is the game |
A7 |
We'll play right here |
Dm |
On this bed |
Bb |
And then we'll bet for the |
C |
Biggest stakes yet |
Dm |
The souls of the dead |
Bb |
And I said 'look out |
C Dm |
Lord he's gonna win |
Bb |
The sun is down and |
C Dm |
The night's riding in |
Bb A7 |
That train is dead on time |
Dm Gm |
Many souls are on the line |
Bb A7 Dm |
Oh Lord, he's gonna win' |
Dm |
Now the railway-man |
He cut the cards |
Bb C Dm |
And he dealt each a hand of five |
And for the Lord |
He was praying hard |
Bb A7 |
For that train he'd have to drive |
Bb |
Well, the devil |
C |
He had three aces and a king |
A7 |
And the Lord he was running |
Dm |
For a straight he had |
Bb |
The queen and the knave |
C |
The nine and ten of spades |
Dm |
All he needed was the eight |
Dm |
And then the Lord |
He called for one more card |
Bb C Dm |
But he drew the diamond eight |
And the devil said |
To the Son of God, |
Bb A7 |
'I believe you've got it straight |
Bb |
So deal me one for |
C |
The time has come to see |
A7 Dm |
Who'll be the king of this place' |
Bb C |
But as he spoke from beneath |
Dm |
His cloak he slipped another ace |
Dm |
Ten thousand souls |
Was the opening bid |
Bb C Dm |
But it soon went up to fifty-nine |
Dm |
But the Lord didn't see |
Bb |
What the devil did and he said, |
A7 |
'that suits me fine.' |
Bb |
I'll raise you high to |
C A7 |
A hundred-five and forever |
Dm |
Put an end to your sins |
Bb C |
But the devil let out a mighty |
Dm |
Shout 'my hand wins' |
Bb C |
And i said 'Lord oh Lord |
Dm |
You let him win |
Bb |
The sun is down and the |
C Dm |
Night's riding in |
Bb A7 |
That train is dead on time |
Dm Gm |
Many souls are on the line |
Bb |
Oh Lord |
A7 Dm |
Don't let him win |
Dm |
Well that Spanish train |
Still runs between |
Bb |
Quadelquidir and old Seville And |
C |
At dead of night The Whistle Blows |
A7 Dm |
And people fear she's running still |
Dm |
And far away in some recess |
Bb |
The Lord and the devil |
Are now playing chess |
C |
The devil still cheats |
And wins more souls |
A7 |
And as for the Lord well |
Dm |
he's just doing his best |
Bb C |
And I said 'Lord, oh Lord |
Dm |
You've gotta win |
Bb |
The sun is down and the |
C Dm |
Night's riding in |
Bb A7 |
The train is still on time |
Dm Gm |
Oh my soul is on the line |
Bb C Dm |
Oh Lord, you've got to win' |
