Intro - A - 


(verse 1)
A
There's a long black train, comin down the line,
                               F#m       A
Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'
A
Rails of sin only evil remains,
                            E           A
Watch out brother for that long black train,


(verse 2)

Look to the heaven's you can look to the sky,
                               F#m             A
You can find redemption starin back into your eyes,
A
There is protection and there's peace the same,
                              E           A
Burn in your ticket for that long black train,


(chorus)
A
Cause there's victory in the Lord I say,
                E
Victory in the Lord,
F#m            A             D    A
Cling to the father and his holy name,
    F#m       A             E           A
And don't go ridin on that long black train,


(Verse 3)
A
There's an engineer on that long black train,
                         F#m                A
Makin you wonder if your ride is worth the pain,
A
He's just a waitin on your heart to say,
                     E           A
Let me ride on that long black train
A
Cause there's victory in the Lord I say,
                E
Victory in the Lord,
F#m            A             D    A
Cling to the father and his holy name,
    F#m       A             E           A
And don't go ridin on that long black train,
(lead - A - F#m - A - E - A)


(verse 4)
A
Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away,
                        F#m        A
It sounds so good but I must stay away,
A
That train is a beauty makin everybody stare,
                                  E         A
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere,
A
Cause there's victory in the Lord I say,
                E
Victory in the Lord,
F#m            A             D    A
Cling to the father and his holy name,
    F#m       A             E           A
And don't go ridin on that long black train,
F#m            A             D    A
Cling to the father and his holy name,
    F#m       A             E           A
And don't go ridin on that long black train,
     F#m       A                E           A
Yea watch out brother for that long black train,
      F#m       A         E        
That devil's drivin that long black train,
