         Em6
Hear the train whistle blow, rollin down the line
Come to rescue this heart of mine
         Em6/9
Hear the rumble and the roar of the Monnlight Express
One last chance at abetter world than this
      A7/E
All a board   All aboard

      Em6
Every traveller sat silent as a stone
A lot like but not flesh and bone
      Em6/9
But I would not be dogged or driven to fright
By a trainload of lost souls in the half-light
D9              B7+5-9               B7+5+9
    Then a voice       from a hooded robe in

           D9/A                C#7 C7       C6       B7   C6     B7
Whispered "pilgrim, here we go,       ain't no   tur nin' back"

      Aadd9            Em7

       Em6
Like a bat out o' hell we shut into space

     A/E
When down belowin the blue-greel glow

  Em7
I saw a weeping face

          Em6
T'was the face of a child that cut me to the bone

       Em7
When I heard them say
"Don't go away, Papa please come home"
D9                     B7+5-9  B7+5+9
     Had no clue as to who was driving in the
