Life Is Like A augmentedA Mountain Railroad
Authors Eliza R. Snow & M. E. Abbey, 19th Century

[Verse 1]

 G+G                    C majorC        G+G
Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that's brave
                     A augmentedA       D7D7
we must make this run successful from the cradle to the grave
     G+G                   C majorC      G+G
watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels never falter never fail
                       D7D7    G+G
keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail


[Chorus]

    C majorC        G+G                   D7D7
Blessed savior there to guide us till we reach that blissful shore
     G+G        C majorC       G+G   D7D7   G+G
where the angels wait to join us in thy praise for evermore

[Verse 2]

G+G                      C majorC          G+G
You will roll up grades of trial, you will cross the bridge of life
                      A augmentedA         D7D7
see that Christ is your conductor on this lightning train of life
    G+G                C majorC      G+G
always mindful of obstruction,  do your duty never fail
                       D7D7    G+G
keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail


[Chorus]

    C majorC        G+G                   D7D7
Blessed savior there to guide us till we reach that blissful shore
     G+G        C majorC       G+G   D7D7   G+G
where the angels wait to join us in thy praise for evermore


[Verse 3]

 G+G                    C majorC        G+G
As you roll across the trestle spanning Jordan's swelling tide
                  A augmentedA          D7D7
you will reach the Union Depot into which the train will ride
       G+G                C majorC        G+G
there you'll meet the Superintendent God the Father, God the Son
                       D7D7    G+G
with a hand of joyous greeting weary pilgrim welcome home.


[Chorus]

    C majorC        G+G                   D7D7
Blessed savior there to guide us till we reach that blissful shore
     G+G        C majorC       G+G   D7D7   G+G
