CAPO: 3rd FretINTRO: Am G C D Am G Am
Come all you broken hearted come and lay your burden down
Come kings and queens, come royalty, surrender up your crown
Come empty-handed, come with nothing of your own to claim
Come naked, poor, come like a child, to ride the orphan train
CHORUS:
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home
INTERLUDE: Am G C D Am G Am Am7
The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore
CHORUS:
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home
INSTRUMENTAL: Am D G D Am D C G Am
Come you abandoned, you forsaken, friendless and alone
Come refugees left homesick for some place you’ve never known
Here princes, paupers, criminals and saints are all the same
No more or less than god’s beloved child aboard this train
CHORUS:
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home
CHORUS:
Ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home
It’ll take you all the way home
It’s gonna take you all the way home
