[Verse 1]
    C        G               F  CNow come all aboard, back in 1904
      Am             G          FI was headed for the Cumberland Gap
       C           GWhen a hard summer rain
        F           CBrought death to my train
  Am             F       GColorado come to wash me out
         FWell the head engineer
       GSaid, "Hear and hear clear
       C           G         FBetter hang on and hold your cap"
       C           GAnd before I could jump
            F            CWell, those mighty rails sunk
         Am        G         FAnd the whole damn bridge collapsed

[Chorus]
      C  GWell, oh my
      F            CI'm a train in the sky
      Am           F       GSweet Lord, let me feel no fear

        C           FPlease tell Barbara Brown

[Verse 2]
        C             GNow the children were crying
        F            CAll the luggage went flying
          Am   G        FThere was coal rolling everywhere
               C             GAnd there were lovers in the aisle
        F       CKnotted up in a pile
      Am           G        FGoin' hard despite our deep despair
          FAnd as we tumbled away
        GTo that still water grave
          C       G          FThere was sorrow amongst the air
          C         GWhile the Bible was read
        F             CWell, I bowed down my head
      Am          G       FAnd I prayed out my final prayer

[Chorus]
      C  GWell, oh my
      F            CI'm a train in the sky
      Am           F       GSweet Lord, let me feel no fear
      C          GAnd before I go down
        C           FPlease tell Barbara Brown
        Am            G          CWell, I love you, my darling, my dear

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

[Chorus]
      C  GWell, oh my
      F            CI'm a train in the sky
      Am           F       GSweet Lord, let me feel no fear
      C          GAnd before I go down
        C           FPlease tell Barbara Brown
        Am            G          CWell, I love you, my darling, my dear
            C            G          CYou know I love you, my darling, my dear
           C        G          CYes I love you, my darling, my dear
