                           (Curtis Mayfield)

[Curtis Mayfield used an open F# tuning (low to high: F# A# C# F# A# F#);
 I've notated the breaks in both standard and open F# (capoed at the 7th
 fret) below.  -- AWR]

Intro (w/wordless vocal, 2X):

        Db      Bbm             Gb/Ab      Db
        /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

        Db         Bbm              Gb/Ab   Db
        People get ready, there's a train a comin'
             Db           Bbm              Gb/Ab    Db
        You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
                 Db      Bbm             Gb/Ab    Db
        All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
        Fm            Ebm               Gb        Db
        Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

Verse 2:

        People get ready for the train to Jordan
        It's picking up passengers from coast to coast

Verse 3:

          D             Bm  G/A                   D

[repeat verse 1 in D]:

        G people get ready, there's a train a comin'
