Barbaras Song

    C        G               F  C
Now come all aboard, back in 1904
      Am             G          F
I was headed for the Cumberland Gap
       C           G
When a hard summer rain
        F           C
Brought death to my train
  Am             F       G
Colorado come to wash me out
         F
Well the head engineer
       G
Said, "Hear and hear clear
       C           G         F
Better hang on and hold your cap"
       C           G
And before I could jump
            F            C
Well, those mighty rails sunk
         Am        G         F
And the whole damn bridge collapsed

[Chorus]
      C  G
Well, oh my
      F            C
I'm a train in the sky
      Am           F       G
Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear
      C          G
And before I go down
        C           F
Please tell Barbara Brown
        Am            G          
Well, I love you, my darling, my 
C
dear

[Verse 2]
        C             G
Now the children were crying

        F            C
All the luggage went flying
          Am   G        F
There was coal rolling everywhere
               C             G
And there were lovers in the aisle
        F       C
Knotted up in a pile
      Am           G        F
Goin' hard despite our deep despair
          F
And as we tumbled away
        G
To that still water grave
          C       G          F
There was sorrow amongst the air
          C         G
While the Bible was read
        F             C
Well, I bowed down my head
      Am          G       F
And I prayed out my final prayer

[Chorus]
      C  G
Well, oh my
      F            C
I'm a train in the sky
      Am           F       G
Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear
      C          G
And before I go down
        C           F
Please tell Barbara Brown
        Am            G          
Well, I love you, my darling, my 
C
dear

[Verse 3]
      C       G
Now I held my chest
       F            C
And we all held our breath
              Am       G          
'Cause we was gettin' down to the 
F
end
C                         G
And while that cold water brewed
    F             C
The train whistle blew
       Am                      G
And it sounded like a howling wind
             F
And from the corner of my eye
         G
I saw an angel disguised
     C     G       F
As a man with a violin
       C         G
And he sang us a song
          F         C
It didn't last very long
      Am        G          F
So we asked him to sing it again

[Chorus]
      C  G
Well, oh my
      F            C
I'm a train in the sky
      Am           F       G
Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear
      C          G
And before I go down
        C           F
Please tell Barbara Brown
        Am            G          
Well, I love you, my darling, my 
C
dear
            C            G        
You know I love you, my darling, 
  C
my dear
           C        G          C
Yes I love you, my darling, my dear
