Last Train To Heaven
Recorded by Boxcar Willie
Written by Jan B. Shuster and Guy Henry Workman

C              F
I'll ride that last train to heaven
   C
On rails of solid gold
     G7
In a boxcar lined with satin
          F                C
Where the nights are never cold

        F
Where a hobo's always welcome
     C
Even in his ragged clothes
     G7
I'll ride that last train to heaven
         F             C
When the final whistle blows


Well I set in hobo jungles
     F
From Maine to New Orleans
     G7
I've heard ole timers tell the tale
     F                  C
Of a train they hope to see


There'll be a long black steamer
     F
That shines just like the sun
     G7
With a thousand miles of boxcars
  F                  C
Behind engine number one

Repeat #1,2


All the hobos will be waitin'
   F
No more sleepin' on the ground
     G7
With his hand upon the throttle
         F             C
There'll be no puttin' down


This ride is just for hobos
        F
They'll come from all around
     G7
When that train gets down to her last run
F                  C
Destination heaven bound

Repeat #1,2
G7
I'll ride that last train to heaven
         F             C
When the final whistle blows
