Intro
A7 D
[Verse 1]
D D7 G Em
She just left the point at Chiekany
A A7 D
The freight number twelve-sixty-two
A7 D D7 G Em
And on down the mountain she travelled
A A7 D
So brave were the men in her crew
[Verse 2]
D D7 G Em
Then the engineer pulled at the whistle
A A7 D
For the brakes wouldn't work when app-lied
D D7 G Em
And the brakeman climbed out on the car top
A A7 D
For he knew what that whistle had cried
[Instrumental]
D D7 G Em
A A7 D
D D7 G Em
A A7 D
[Verse 3]
D D7 G Em
With all of the strength that God gave him
A A7 D
He tied in those brakes with a prayer
A7 D D7 G Em
But the train went right on down that mountain
A A7 D
Her whistle still piercing the air
[Verse 4]
D D7 G Em
She travelled at sixty an hour
A A7 D
Gaining speed every foot of the way
D D7 G Em
And then with a crash it was over
A A7 D
And there on the track the freight lay
[Instrumental]
D D7 G Em
A A7 D
D D7 G Em
A A7 D
[Verse 5]
D D7 G Em
It's not the amount of the damage
A A7 D
Or the value of what the wreck cost
D D7 G Em
It's the sad scene they found in the cabin
A A7 D
Where the lives of two brave men were lost
[Verse 6]
D D7 G Em
They found them at their post in the wreckage
A A7 D
Where they died when the engine had fell
A7 D D7 G Em
The engineer still held the whistle
A A7 D
And the fireman still clung to the bell
[Verse 7]
D D7 G Em
Now this story is told of a freight train,
A A7 D
But it should be a warning to all;
A7 D D7 G Em
We need to be prepared ev'ry moment,
A A7 D
For we can never tell when He'll call.
