People Get Ready
Performed by Phil Collins
#From: Steve L Portigal <sportiga@uoguelph.ca
#A couple of notes here: As performed, Daryl has a Strat with
#a chorus box, giving a real ringy tone. He does a half-
#chorus-length intro starting at the 9th fret (D-form),
#then drops to the normal form for the rest of the first
#two verses (easier heard than described!).
#
#After the 2nd verse, the song transistions up a half step,
#which Daryl starts on the 10th fret (again in D-form).
#In order to minimize jumping around, I play the bulk of the
#last two verses barred at the 3rd fret. This allows me to
#hit all the chords easily.
Now
A

F#m7
ready,
there's a
D
train a'

A
Don't need no

People get ready,
for the train to Jordan.
Picking up passengers,
from coast to coast.
Faith is the key,
opens the door stil boarded.
There's hope for all,
Amongst those loved the most.
Bb
There ain't no
Gm7
room,
for the
Eb
hopeless
Bb
sinner.
Who'd
Bb
hurt all man
Gm7
kind,
just to
Eb
save his
Bb
own.
Bb
Pitied are
Gm7
those,
whose
Eb
chances grow
Bb
thinner.
'Cause there's
Dm7
no hiding
Gm7
place,
Amongst the
Eb
kingdom's
Bb
throne.
Now people get ready,
there's a train a'comin.
Don't need no baggage,
you just get on board.
All you need is faith,
to hear the diesels humming.
You don't need no ticket,
You just thank the lord.
