Bm                      A
I left the station many years ago,
                     Bm
excited for what lay ahead
                           A
She stayed behind, so many miles although-
                          Bm
I close my eyes and there she is
                          A
These wheels roll on from track to track
                  Bm
I ride across the land
                     A
Every mile brings me closer
                  Bm (Pause)
The final stop is glory

[Chorus]
        E    Em          Bm   A
On this train... to eternity
               E    Em          Bm   A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)

[Instrumental]
Bm A (x2)

Bm                      A
People get on and they get off
                     Bm
Sometimes we become friends
Bm                      A
But they cannot stay, for in the end-
                     Bm
Our destinations aren't the same
Bm                      A
Others try to ride along
                     Bm
But find they cannot pay the fare
Bm                      A
Sometimes we pull into a station
                  Bm (Pause)
But if you get off, you're nowhere

[Chorus]
        E    Em          Bm   A
On this train... to eternity
               E    Em          Bm   A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)

[Instrumental]
Bm A (x2)

D                      A
Long ago I got my ticket
Bm             G
Never to be a slave
      D               A             F#m
And I go the direction that I want

From greatness to the grave

(Chorus) Slow No Drums
        E    Em          Bm   A
On this train... to eternity
               E    Em          Bm   A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)

[Chorus]
        E    Em          Bm   A
On this train... to eternity
               E    Em          Bm   A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)
