_ Life is like a mountain railroad [F#] [G] with an _ _ engineer that's [D] brave.
_ We must make the run successful _ [E] from the _ cradle [A] to the grave.
_ [D] Watch the curve that fills the tunnels, [Am] _ [G] never _ falter, [D] never fail.
_ Keep your hands _ upon the throttle and your [A] eyes [D] upon the rail.
[G] Blessed _ Savior, thou [D] wilt guide us [C] till we _ [D] reach that [A] blested shore
_ [D] where the _ angels [G] want to join us [D] in that _ [A] praise [D] _ _
forevermore.

_ As you roll _ across the trestle [G] spanning _ Jordan's [D] swelling tide,
_ you'll behold the Union Depot _ [E] into which [Bm] your train [A] will fly.
There [D] you'll meet the superintendent, God [G] the Father, God [D] the Son,
with a hearty, joyous greeting.
_ Weary [A] pilgrims, welcome [D] home.
Blessed [G] _ Savior, thou [D] wilt guide us till we reach [A] that blessed shore _
where [D] the angels wait [G] to join us in [D] that [A] praise _ [D] forevermore.
In that [A] praise _ _ _ [D] _
forevermore. _ _ _ _ _ _

And that's the reason I wanted to do it today.
It's called On the Jericho Road.
