 My dear, my darling one

 You don't even want to let them  start

 Of your broken little hearts

  Forgive us now for what we've done

 The keys to the gulag

 They're gathering round with all my friends
Am
  We're older now, the light is dim
G
 And you are only just beginning



[Verse 5]
---------------------
Em
  We have the answer to all your fears
C
 It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
Am
  It's round about and it's somewhere here
G                    Em
 Lost amongst our winnings

  The cleaners have done their job on you

 They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
Am
  They've hosed you down, you're good as new
G                           Em
 And they're lining up to inspect you

Oh Oh Oh O Children

[Verse 7]

  Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
C
 He's found the answer that we lost
Am
  We're all weeping now, weeping because
G                                 Em
 There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

 Rejoice,   rejoice

[Outro]
---------------------
Em
Hey, little train, we are all jumping on
    C
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Am
  We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
        G
And the train ain't even left the station
Em
Hey, little train, wait for me!
  C
I once was blind, but now I see
Am
Have you left a seat for me?
        G
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Em
Hey little train, wait for me!
      C
I was held in chains, but now I'm free
Am
  I'm hanging in there, don't you see?
        G
In this process of elimination
Em
Hey, little train, we are all jumping on
    C
The train that goes to the Kingdom

[Fade Out]
---------------------
Am
  We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
       G
It's beyond my wildest expectation
Em
Hey, little train, we are all jumping on
    C
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Am
  We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
        G
And the train ain't even left the station
