_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They wrote me some songs for me to do and I [N] ain't done a one of them. _ _
_ [G] Here's a great one. _ _ _
I saw this _ [A] song done in a movie called, I believe it was Mr.
[N] Horn or something like that, I don't know.
And _ David [G#] Carradine, _ [E] acting, ooh man, he's great.
_ And he impressed me with this song right [G] here.
I like it.
_ _ _ _ _ They was fixin' to hang him, you know.
And _ he said, Richard Woodmore, he said, would you please sing the song for me as I die.
_ Life is like _ _ _ a mountain railroad
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] With [C] an _ _ _ _ engine [G] near the brake
_ _ _ _ We must make _ the run successful _ _ _ _ _
From the [A] cradle _ _ _ _ straight to [D] the _ grave
You better watch [G] the _ _ field _ _
Every tunnel, _ _ _ _ _ [C] every mountain
_ _ Boy, you better [G] never fail _ _ _
Just give me your hand _ _
Up on the throttle _ _ _ _
And your _ eyes [D] _ _
up on [G] the rail _ _
Yes, [C] blessed Savior _
Surely thou will [G] guide us _
_ _ Till we _ _ [E] reach that blessed [A] _ foreshore _ _
[D] _ With _ [G] angels _ _ _ waiting [C] to turn _ up
_ And [G] thy _ _ [C]
[D] grace _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] forevermore
