Life is Like a Mountain Railway

[Verse 1]
        G               G7
Life is like a mountain railway
        C               G
With an engineer that's brave
        G
We must make this run successful
         A7            D     D7
From the cradle to the grave
         G                    G7
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
      C             G
Never falter, never fail
          G
Keep your hand upon the throttle
         D7           G
And your eye upon the rail


[Chorus]
        C               G
Blessed savior there to guide us
                            D7
Till we reach that blissful shore
        G               C
And the angels there to join us
         G         D7  G
In God's grace for evermore

 
[Verse 2]
       G               G7
As you roll across the trestle
         C                 G
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
         G
You will reach the union depot
     A7                   D    D7
Into which the train will ride
             G               G7
There you'll meet the superintendent
        C               G
God the father, God the son
       G
With a hand of joyous greeting
      D7               G
Weary pilgrim, welcome home

 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Blessed savior there to guide us
                            D7
Till we reach that blissful shore
        G               C
And the angels there to join us
         G         D7  G
In God's grace for evermore
