verse 1  

 G                                       C               G  
Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that's brave  
                                          A              D7  
we must make this run successful from the cradle to the grave  
          G                                     C            G  
watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels never falter never fail  
                                              D7       G  
keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail

Blessed savior there to guide us till we reach that blissful shore  
          G               C              G     D7      G

You will roll up grades of trial,  you will cross the bridge of life  
                                           A                 D7
