For embellishments just do hammer-ons the e, a, and d strings. Also, a few bass runs here and there. He doesn't quite play it the right way all throughout.

F
There's a little black train a-coming

Coming down the track

F
You gotta ride that little black train

       G                       F
But it ain't a-gonna bring you back

You may be a barroom gambler And cheat your way through life But you can't cheat that little black train Or beat this final ride You silken barroom ladies dressed in your worldly pride

F
You`ve got to ride that little black train

F
That`s coming in tonight

Your million dollar fortune Your mansion glittering white

F
You can`t take it with you

         F
When the train rolls in tonight

Get ready for your savior And fix your business right You`ve got to ride that little black train To make this final ride You silken barroom ladies dressed in your worldly pride

F
You`ve got to ride that little black train

                 F
That`s coming in tonight

You may be a barroom gambler Cheat your way through life

F
But you can`t cheat that little black train

   F
Or beat this final ride

There`s a little black train a-coming Coming down the track You`ve got to ride that little black train but it ain`t a-gonna bring you back
