C          F                     C
It's a slow, slow train but it's moving on
C                           G 
Well I've got my ticket, so don't, pass me by
C                                 G
'Cause if I don't get on board, I just might break down and cry
C                                G
'Cause I've just got one life to live on this earth
    F                                         C
Oh, get me there, won't you please, conductor sir
              C          F                     C
'Cause it's a slow, slow train but it's moving on

[Chorus]
C                             G
Well everybody gets a ticket, you, you and me
C                                             G 
But it's up to you to catch a ride and that's how it's got to be
C                                          G
And if you want to ride that train to that peaceful, promised land
                  F                                                   C
Oh, you've got to give your heart to Jesus and put your ticket in his hand

[Outro]
              C          F                     C
'Cause it's a slow, slow train but it's moving on
          C          F                     C
Oh it's a slow, slow train but it's moving on
