Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) Ooooooo
Our (C major) little child on (F major) a sick bed lay (C major)
As death (F major) was (G major) very (C major) near
The parent's pride
(F major) And the only child (C major) of
(G major) a railroad engineer (D major) (G major)
(C major) His duty called him
From (F major) those he loved
(C major) And the (F major) house's light was (G major) dimmed
The (C major) tears he shed, (F major) to his wife (F sharpdim) he said (F major)
(C major) I will have (G major) two letters trimmed (F major) (C major)
Just hang a light by (F major) my window tonight
and (C major) hang it where (F major) it can be (G major) seen.
(C major) If our baby's dead, (F major) just hang the red
(G major) If (D major) she's (C major) better,
then (G major) hang the (C major) green (F major) (C major)
In this little house, by (F major) the railroad side, (G major)
(C major) a mother with (F major) a (G major) watch (C major) ful eye, (G major) (C major) saw a (G major) gleam
of (C major) hope an (F major) d a feeble (C major) smile,
(G major) as the train (D major) went rushing (G major) by. (D major) (G major) (C major)
Just one short look was (F major) his only chance (C major)
To see (F major) the light (G major) of gleam
In (C major) the midnight air, (F major) there rose a (G major) prayer
Well, thank my
(G major) God, (C major) light (G major) was green. (F major) (C major)
