Johnny Cash - Lifes Railway To Heaven

tom : G

G C G
life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that’s brave
A7 D
we must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave
G C G
heed the curves the hills the tunnels , never falter , never fail
D7 G
keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail

chorus :
C G
blessed savior , thou wilt guide us
A7 C
till we reach that blissful shore
G C G D7 G
where the angels wait to join us in god’s praise forevermore

G C G
as we roll along the mainline , there’ll be storms and there’ll be night
A7 D
there’ll be sidetracks unexpected on the left and on the right
G C G
but with the straight always before us and our hearts upon the prize
D7 G
there’ll be no disembarkation until we reach paradise
