LIFE'S RAILWAY TO HEAVEN - Johnny Cash chords
Start Jamming...
[B]
Life is like a mountain railway with [E] an engine [A] near [B] the train.
We must make the run successful from [C#] the cradle to [F#] the grave.
[A#m] Heed [B] the [Bm] curves of hills [B] and tunnels, never [E]
fall, never [B] fade.
Keep your head upon the throttle and your [F#] eyes upon [B] the rail.
Blessed [E]
Savior, Thou [B] wilt guide us till we reach [F#] that blissful shore
where [B] the angels [E] wait to join us in [B] God's [F#] praise [B] forevermore.

[F#] [B] As we roll along the main line, there'll [E] be storms and there'll [B] be night.
There'll be sidetracks unexpected [C#] on the left and [F#] on the right.
[C#m] [A#m] But with [B] the straights always before us and [E] our hearts upon [B] the prize,
there'll be no disembarkation until we [F#] reach [B] paradise.
[C#] [E] Blessed Savior, [B] Thou wilt guide us till we reach that [F#] blissful shore
[B] where the angels wait [E] to join us in [B] God's [G#m] [F#] praise [B]
forevermore.
