[Intro]
F#m Bm A (four times) E

E
Hey pilgrim, climb aboard the gospel train
free trip to heaven - no time to explain
     G#        B      E
All aboard the gospel train
All non-believers can go straight to hell
Rival religions I condemn as well
       G#      B     E
Non- believers go to hell
         G#       B       A     G   A  F#  F
They can take the rest as well

I was a rock 'n' roller long ago
The hours were too long and the pay was low
Rock 'n' roller long ago
I sinned in every way that's known to man
I sure raised hell, but it was in God's plan
Every sin that's known to man
Must have been in God's plan

(All aboard the gospel train, its leaving soon)

F#m  Bm  A (twice)
E  A  E  A
E  A  G  F# F

Now I'm a christian with a tale to tell
I'd give it freely but I'm forced to sell
Yes, I have a tale to tell
I am a businessman in Jesus' name
"Give unto Caesar", and give me the same
Businessman in Jesus' name
All aboard the gospel train
