Now, I've been happy lately,

And I believe it could be,
something good has begun.
Oh, I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one.
And I believe it could be, some day
it's going to come.
'Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train.
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again.
Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come.
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun.
CHORUS [riff is first two measures of the intro riff]:

Oh, peace train sounding

Oo-ah, ee-ah, oo-ah! Come on the peace train.
Yes, peace train, holy roller,
everyone jump on the peace train.
Oo-ah, ee-ah, oo-ah! Come on the peace train.
Get your bags together, go bring
your good friends, too.
'Cause it's getting nearer, it soon
will be with you.
Now, come and join the living, it's
not so far from you.
And it's getting nearer, soon it
will all be true.

Now, I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is.
Why must we go on hating? Why can't we live in bliss?
'Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train.
Oh, peace train take this country,
come take me home again.
