New Underground Railroad chords by Gerry Tenney

Guitar chords with lyrics

Chorus:
       C               G
On the new underground railroad
 Am                           C             G
running from the death squads running from fear
       C               G
on the new underground railroad
      Am     Em         Am
Will they be welcome up here?

Verse 1:
          C                     G
When the slaves ran off in the civil war
             Dm                 Am
there was a midnight knock on a midnight door
            C                  G
and a young farm family hid a runaway slave
    Dm               Am
and kept her from an early grave

Chorus:
          C                         G
And they called it the underground railroad
 Am                       C            G
running from the master's cold cruel hand
       C                       G
They called it the underground railroad
  Am     Em         Am
On up to canaan's Land

Verse 2:
          C                   G
When the nazis came up in the Second World War
            Dm                  Am
There was a midnight knock on a midnight door
        C                       G
And an old Polish woman on the aryan side
       Dm                       Am
Took a young Jewish boy in the cellar to hide

Chorus:
         C                  G
It was another underground railroad
 Am                               C        G
Run from the gestapo throught the sewer walls
       C                   G
It was another underground Railroad
      Am     Em         Am
Keep moving, no time to fall

Verse 3:
     C                  G
And now war rages in El Salvador
           Dm                  Am
You hear a midnight knock on a midnight door
      C                        G
And a church door opens in the middle of the night
       Dm                          Am
Half a family walks in their faces filled with fright

Chorus:
       C               G
On the new underground railroad
 Am                           C             G
running from the death squads running from fear
       C               G
on the new underground railroad
      Am     Em         Am
Will they be welcome up here?
