[Bb] [Eb]
Life is like a mountain railway With [F] its [Ab]
engineer [Eb] that's great
We [Bbm] must [Eb] make the run successful From [F] the cradle to [Bb] the grave
Watch [Eb] the curves, the fills and trestles [F] Never [Ab] fall, never [Eb] tilt
[Bb] Keep [Eb] your hand upon the throttle And your eye
[Bb] upon [Eb] the rail
[Eb] Blessings in
[Ab] your path [Eb] will guide
[F] us [Eb] Till we reach that [Bb] blissful shore
Where [Eb] the angels wait [Ab] to join us In [Eb] thy
[Bb] praise [Eb] forevermore

[Bb] [Eb]
As you roll across the trestle [Ab] Spanning Jordan's [Eb] swelling tides
You'll behold the Union Depot Into [F]
which your train [Bb] will [Fm] glide
[Bb] Now there [Eb]
you'll meet the superintendent God [Ab] the Father and [Eb] the Son
[Bb] With a [Eb] hearty welcome stranger Where he'll fill
[Bb] you from welcome [Eb] home
[F] [Ab] Blessings in your path [Eb] will guide [Bb]
us [Eb] Till we reach that [Bb] blissful shore
Where [Eb]
the angels wait [Ab] to join us In [Eb] thy
[Bb] praise forevermore
[Cm] In [Eb] thy [Bb] praise [Eb] forevermore
