                    G                                                                          G7
    There's a little black train that's coming, coming down the track,
     C                                                              D                                G
    you gotta ride that little black train, but it ain't gonna bring you back.

              G                                                                                     G7
    You may be a barroom gambler, and cheat your way through life,
      C                                                           D                  G
    you can't cheat that little black train or beat this final ride.

             G                                                                       G7
    You silken barroom ladies, dressed in your worldly pride,
     C                                                           D                G
    you gotta ride that little black train, it's coming in tonight.

               G                                                                     G7
    Your million dollar fortune, your mansion glittering white,
     C                                                       D                   G
    you can't take it with you, when the train rolls in tonight.

             G                                                                  G7
    Get ready for your savior, and fix your business right,
     C                                                          D                   G
    you gotta ride that little black train to make this final ride.

             G                                                                       G7
    You silken barroom ladies, dressed in your worldly pride,
      C                                                                 D                G
    you gotta ride that little black train, and it's coming in tonight.

              G                                                                              G7
    You may be a barroom gambler, cheat your way through life,
      C                                                           D                  G
    you can't cheat that little black train or beat this final ride.

                    G                                                                          G7
    There's a little black train that's coming, coming down the track,
     C                                                              D                                G
    you gotta ride that little black train, but it ain't gonna bring you back.
