Tonart: G major•
Verse 1
G
D
In my early days of singing, I did folk songs and tragic songs,
G
and this was one of my favorites
D
G
when I used to do concerts all alone in college,
E
first one place to another, when I was called
on to take the guitar and

just with a guitar.
D
G

out of meter, stop and talk a minute
it and start again.
D
That's the way I used to like to do tunes.
D
G
from the hills of
D
Kentucky in the coal mining country.
G
D
They used to bring it out in these
G
dinky little trains, you know.
And they were always
D
G
jumping the track.

One dark stormy night,
C

G
There stood a brave engineer,
C
with his sweet heart so dear
G

And his orders to flow number nine
C

G

C
seemed to brighten his dream
G
D

G
He whispered a prayer as
G
D
For he knew this would be
G
C
G
his final race
D

In the wreck he was found
C
lying there on the ground
G

D
There's a little white home
G
that I built for our own
C
G
Where I dreamed we'd be happy,
C
for I know you'll be true
G
D
Till we meet at the golden gates, goodbye
