[Dm]
[F] [Dm] [C]
[Dm] On a cold and rainy night [F] I was sitting in the light
[Dm] Of my [C] switchman's shack, a mine [Dm] post on the mountain
The storm was pretty bad [F] and the telegraph was dead
But [Dm] it was just [C] eleven [Dm] hours till the dawn [F] Then much to my surprise the [C]
telegraph jumped
in the light [Gm] As I read the code I thought could this [Dm] be
true A train was on its way [F] headed up the mountain
grade [Dm] But she didn't [C] have no engineer [Dm] or crew
And the other switch they tried to put [F] her on the mountain side
[Dm] But she kept on [C] coming up the [Dm] mountain grade Well I quickly doused the light to [F] try to
see into the night [Dm] Maybe I could spot [C] her headlight [Dm] in the rain
She [F] was pounding down below I [G] could hear her whistle blow
And [Gm] I thought Lord that's a high [Dm] and mournful sound
Then the telegraph again, there's [F] a cave in at the mine
[Dm] And a hundred men [C] are buried beneath [Dm] the ground
[F]
[Dm] [C] [Dm]
[F]
[Dm] [C] [Dm]
Lord she's coming now I see [F] Around the bend and straight at me
[Dm] And her boiler's [C] glowing red as [Dm] coal and hail
The headlight switch is wide, [F] searching all the mountain side
[Dm] But the only [C] sound she's making [Dm] is a wail
[F] Then I recognized the train [C] by the number and the name
[Gm] It's the miner Silver [Dm] Ghost 041
Then she vanished up the track [F] by the lonely switchman's shack
[Dm] Like a mother who [C] was looking [Dm] for her son
Now I've heard a story [F] of how an engine went to glory
[Dm] Over [C] fifty years ago [Dm] on this same line It was steaming for a cave
And [F] there were men who needed to save [Dm] But it missed a [C] curb and [Dm] trestle near the
mine [F] And every now and then [C] you'll hear a whistle
on the wind [Gm] If a mountain slides and many [Dm] men are lost
It's a high and lonely way, [F] searching up and down the mountain
It's the train [C] they call the miner [Dm] Silver Ghost
The train they call [C] the miner Silver Ghost
The train they [C] call the miner Silver [D] Ghost
