Chords

[Intro] G D G [Verse 1]
        G
Life is like a mountain railroad

        C           G
With an engineer so brave

        G
We must make this run successful

         A             D
From the cradle to the grave

          G
Watch the curves that spill the tunnel

      C             G
Never falter, never quail

          G
Keep your hand upon the throttle

             D        G
And your eye upon the rail
[Chorus]
        C                 G
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

                            D
Till we reach that blissful shore

          G              C
Where the angels wait to join us

        G     D      G
In that grace forevermore
[Instrumental] G D G [Verse 2]
       G
As you roll across the trestle

         C                 G
Spanning Jordon's swelling tide

         G
You'll behold the Union Depot

     A                     D
Into which your train will glide

             G
There you'll meet the superintendent

        C               G
God the Father, God the Son

       G
With a hearty joyous plauding

                 D       G
"Weary Pilgrims, Welcome Home"
[Outro]
        C                 G
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

                            D
Till we reach that blissful shore

          G              C
Where the angels wait to join us

        G     D      G
In that grace forevermore
