G                              C            G 
Waitin' by the railroad in the wind and the rain, 
                                              D 
I'll know I'll not be ridin' that old freight train. 
  G                             C           G 
Tonight there is a special, its light I can see, 
                               D       G 
The train that will take me to my destiny. 
 
 
G                        C           G 
Out of the darkness, the light I can see, 
                                D 
Out of the darkness, shinin' on me. 
G              G7     C          G 
Following that light, I'll never roam , 
                      D         G 
Following that light, I'm goin' home.

My ramblin' days are done and my thoughts wander back, 
                                             D 
To days of ridin' boxcars and campin' on the track. 
G                        C              G 
Now I'm old and weary, I don't regret a thing, 
                              D               G 
With these fading memories, I hear the angels sing.

Out of the darkness, the light I can see,

The only pal I had was old Cobber Joe, 
                           D 
He went before me so long ago. 
G                              C               G 
Though its been a long time, I know that he'll be 
                              D          G 
Standin' by the golden gates, waitin' on me.
