Intro
G7 C
[Verse 1]
C C7 F Dm
She just left the point at Chiekany
G G7 C
The freight number twelve-sixty-two
G7 C C7 F Dm
And on down the mountain she travelled
G G7 C
So brave were the men in her crew
[Verse 2]
C C7 F Dm
Then the engineer pulled at the whistle
G G7 C
For the brakes wouldn't work when app-lied
C C7 F Dm
And the brakeman climbed out on the car top
G G7 C
For he knew what that whistle had cried
[Instrumental]
C C7 F Dm
G G7 C
C C7 F Dm
G G7 C
[Verse 3]
C C7 F Dm
With all of the strength that God gave him
G G7 C
He tied in those brakes with a prayer
G7 C C7 F Dm
But the train went right on down that mountain
G G7 C
Her whistle still piercing the air
[Verse 4]
C C7 F Dm
She travelled at sixty an hour
G G7 C
Gaining speed every foot of the way
C C7 F Dm
And then with a crash it was over
G G7 C
And there on the track the freight lay
[Instrumental]
C C7 F Dm
G G7 C
C C7 F Dm
G G7 C
[Verse 5]
C C7 F Dm
It's not the amount of the damage
G G7 C
Or the value of what the wreck cost
C C7 F Dm
It's the sad scene they found in the cabin
G G7 C
Where the lives of two brave men were lost
[Verse 6]
C C7 F Dm
They found them at their post in the wreckage
G G7 C
Where they died when the engine had fell
G7 C C7 F Dm
The engineer still held the whistle
G G7 C
And the fireman still clung to the bell
[Verse 7]
C C7 F Dm
Now this story is told of a freight train,
G G7 C
But it should be a warning to all;
G7 C C7 F Dm
We need to be prepared ev'ry moment,
G G7 C
For we can never tell when He'll call.
