Jerry Lee Lewis - Life is like a mountain's railroad chords
Start Jamming...
[G]
They wrote me some songs for me to do and I [N] ain't done a one of them.
[G] Here's a great one.
I saw this [A] song done in a movie called, I believe it was Mr.
[N] Horn or something like that, I don't know.
And David [G#] Carradine, [E] acting, ooh man, he's great.
And he impressed me with this song right [G] here.
I like it.
They was fixin' to hang him, you know.
And he said, Richard Woodmore, he said, would you please sing the song for me as I die.
Life is like a mountain railroad
[Bm] With [C] an engine [G] near the brake
We must make the run successful
From the [A] cradle straight to [D] the grave
You better watch [G] the field
Every tunnel, [C] every mountain
Boy, you better [G] never fail
Just give me your hand
Up on the throttle
And your eyes [D]
up on [G] the rail
Yes, [C] blessed Savior
Surely thou will [G] guide us
Till we [E] reach that blessed [A] foreshore
[D] With [G] angels waiting [C] to turn up
And [G] thy [C]
[D] grace [G] [C] forevermore

Take it, son.

You gotta wanna kinda choke up a little bit.
I don't know.
Am I guilty?
You.
Say, are you innocent?

Just don't mess with Mr.
Inbetween, baby.
