[A]Mm (Mm)
Mm-hmm (Mm-hmm)
[A]Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga

[Verse 1]
Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
[A]Once upon a time there was a railroad line
(mm)
Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when
(mm)
It was the [A]road to Hell, it was hard times
It was a [C]world of [D]gods and [A]men

[Chorus 1]
It's an [A]old song (it's an an old song)
It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song (it's an old song)
And [C]we're gonna sing [D]it again

[Interlude 1]
[A]God[A]s and men, aight
We [A]got some gods in the house to[A]night!

[Verse 2]
See, on the [A]road to Hell
there was a railroad line (mm)
And there were three old women
all dressed the same (mm)
And they was [A]always singin'
in the back of your mind
[C]Everybody [D]meet the [A]fates!

[Verse 3]
And on the [A]road to Hell
there was a railroad line (mm)
And a lady steppin' off a train (mm-hmm)
With a [A]suitcase full of summertime
[C]Persepho[D]ne, by [A]name

[Verse 4]
And if you [A]ride that train [G](Ride that [A]train)
If you ride that train (You ride that train)
If you [A]ride that train to the end of the line
(mm)
Where the sun don't shine
and it's always shady (mm)
It's [A]there you'll find the king of the mine
All [C]mighty [D]mister [A]Hades
We [A]got any other gods?
Oh, [A]right, almost forgot

[Verse 5]
On the [A]road to Hell
there was a railroad station (mm)
And a man with feathers on his feet (mm)
Who could [A]help you to your final destination
[C]Mr. Her[D]mes, tha[A]t's me!

[Bridge 1]
See, [A]someone's got to tell the tale
[Bm]Whether or not it turns out well
[Em]Maybe it will turn out this time
On the [D]road to Hell
On the railroad line

[Chorus 2]
It's a [A]sad song (It's a sad song)
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a [A]sad song (It's a sad song)
We're gonna [C]sing it any[D]way

[Interlude 2]
[A]C'm[A]on
Now, not [A]everyone gets to be a god
And [A]don't forget that times are hard

[Verse 6]
[A]Hard times in the world of men
Let me introduce you to a few of them
You can tip your hats and your wallets
Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
To the [A]hardest working chorus
In the [C]gods' [D]al [A]mighty world!

[Interlude 3]
And [A]workin' just as hard for you
[A]Let's see what this crew can do!

[Solo 1]
[C][D][C][D]
[A]Aig[A]ht! Aig[A]ht! Aig[A]ht!

[Verse 7]
On the [A]road to Hell there was a railroad line
(mm)
And a [Bm]poor boy workin' on a song
(La, la, la, la, la...)
His [Em]mama was a friend of mine
And [D]this boy was a muse's son
On the [A]railroad line on the road to Hell (mm)
You [Bm]might say the boy was touched
(La, la, la, la, la, la)
'Cause [Em]he was touched
by the gods themselves!
[C]Give it up [D]for Orpheus![A] Orpheus!
There was [A]one more soul on this road
[A]Girl, come on in from the cold!

[Verse 8]
On the [A]railroad line on the road to Hell (mm)
There was a young girl
looking for something to eat! (Mm)
And [A]brother, thus begins the tale
[C]of Orphe[D]us and Eury[A]dice!

[Chorus 3]
It's a [A]love song (It's a love song)
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a [A]sad song (It's a sad song)
But [C]we're gonna sing it even [D]so
It's an [A]old song (It's an old song)
It's an old tale from way back when
And [C]we're gonna sing, [D]we're gonna sing
[C]we're gonna [D]sing it a[A]gain, again
Again, yeah
