  Life's Railway to Heaven

  recorded on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken

  Volume 2; sang by Johnny Cash

  

  I'm not sure if this is the same key as the recording, but I'm pretty sure 

  it's the same time and same progressions.  There are multiple instrumentals 

  in it, but if I remember correctly, they all cover the verse and chorus 

  parts.  (I have been capoing at the 3rd fret so it would be in Bb.)  4/4 time.

  

  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

  

             C                         G

  (CHORUS:)  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

  

  verse 2

  As we roll along the mainline, there'll be storms and there'll be night 

  there'll be sidetracks unexpected on the left and on the right

  but with the straight always before us and our hearts upon the prize

  there'll be no disembarkation until we reach paradise

  

  (CHORUS)
