People Get Ready

Jeff Beck
Tab
4.8(121)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

People get ready, for the train to Jordan

Picking up passengers, from coast to coast

Faith is the key, open the doors and board them

There's room for all, among the loved the most

There ain't no room, for the hopeless sinner

Who would hurt all mankind, just to save his own

Have pity on those, whose chances grow thinner

Cause there's no hiding place, from the Kingdom's Throne

So people get ready, for the train a-comin'

You don't need no baggage, you just get on board

All you need is faith, to hear the diesels humming

Don't need no ticket, you just, you just thank the Lord
