Key: D major

Intro 1

Verse 1
Eb Eb 
 
A little
Ab Ab 
 
girl on a sickbed lay,
Eb Eb 
 
Bb Bb 
 
and death seemed very near
Eb Eb 
 
Her parents' pride
Ab Ab 
 
and the only child
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
of a   railroad engineer
Ab Ab 
 
Eb Eb 
 
As his duty called him from those he loved,
Bb Bb 
 
his heart was filled with fear
Eb Eb 
 
Ab Ab 
 
And as tears he shed to his wife
Bb Bb 
 
he said, I'll leave two
Eb Eb 
 
Ab Ab 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
lanterns dear
You may place a light in
Ab Ab 
 
the window tonight
Eb Eb 
 
Bb Bb 
 
From there it can be seen
Eb Eb 
 
Ab Ab 
 
If our darling's dead, you can show the red
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
If she's better, then show the green
Ab Ab 
 
On his bended knees
Eb Eb 
 
by his little girl's bed
Bb Bb 
 
He prayed to God above
Eb Eb 
 
Ab Ab 
 
Oh Lord, we need our little girl so
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
Won't you please spare the one we love

Interlude 1

Verse 2
Eb Eb 
 
Ab Ab 
 
In the cottage small by the railroad side
Eb Eb 
 
Bb Bb 
 
From the mother's watchful eye
Eb Eb 
 
Shone a gleam of hope
Ab Ab 
 
through her gentle smile
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
As the train went rushing by
Ab Ab 
 
Eb Eb 
 
Just one short glance was his only chance
Bb Bb 
 
But the signal light was seen
Eb Eb 
 
There arose a prayer on
Ab Ab 
 
the midnight air
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
Thanking God that the light was green you
