    you don t need no baggage, you just get on board.
C                         Am                        F          C
    All you need is faith, to hear the diesels hummin ,
     Em                Dm                      F            C
    don t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord.

C                    Am                F           C
    picking up passengers, coast to coast.
C                     Am                   F              C
    Faith is the key, open the doors and board  em,
      Em                  Dm                F                      C

3.   There ain t no room,       for the hopeless sinner,
C                          Am                             F          C
    who would hurt all mankind, just to save his own.

    Have pity on those, whose      chances grow thinner,
                    Em             Dm                       F                 C
    so there s no hiding place, against the kingdom's throne.
