Hey pilgrim , climb aboard the gospel train- 

free trip to heaven - no time to explain 
     G#        B      E 
All aboard the gospel train! 

All non-believers can go straight to hell. 

Rival religions I condemn as well. 
       G#      B     E 
Non- believers go to hell, 
         G#       B       A     G   A  F#  F 
They can take the rest as well. 
 
I was a rock 'n' roller long ago. 

The hours were too long and the pay was low. 

Rock 'n' roller long ago. 

I sinned in every way that's known to man, 

I sure raised hell, but it was in God's plan. 

Every sin that's known to man. 

Must have been in God's plan. 
 
(All aboard the gospel train, its leaving soon) 
F#m  Bm  A (twice) 

E  A  E  A 

E  A  G  F# F 
 
Now I'm a christian with a tale to tell, 
I'd give it freely but I'm forced to sell. 
Yes, I have a tale to tell. 
I am a businessman in Jesus' name- 
"Give unto Caesar", and give me the same! 
Businessman in Jesus' name, 
All aboard the gospel train!
