Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]One dark stormy night,
not a [G]star was in sight
A [D]north wind came howling
down the [A]line
Stood a [D]brave engineer
with his [G]sweetheart so dear
And his [D]orders to [A]pull old number [D]nine
She [A]kissed him goodbye
with a [G]tear in her eye
The [D]joy in his heart he could not [A]hide
The [D]whole world sang bright far,
[G]she told him that night
That tomor[D]row she'd
[A]be his blushing [D]bride
The wheels hummed a song
as [G]the train rolled along
The black [D]smoke came
pouring from the [A]stack
The [D]headlight, a gleam,
seemed to [G]brighten his dream
Of tomor[D]row when [A]he'd be going [D]back
He [A]sped around the hill
and [G]his brave heart stood still
The [D]headlight was shining in his [A]face
He [D]whispered a prayer
as he [G]threw on the air
For he [D]knew this would [A]be his final [D]race
In the wreck he was found
lying [G]there on the ground
He [D]asked them to raise his weary [A]head
His [D]breath slowly went
as this [G]message he sent
To a [D]maiden who [A]thought
she would be [D]wed
There's [A]a little white home
that I [G]built for our own
Where I [D]dream we'd be happy, you and [A]I
But I'll [D]leave it to you,
for I [G]know you'll be true
Till we [D]meet at the [A]Golden Gates,
good [D]-bye
Till we meet at the [A]Golden Gates,
good [D]-bye
