(início)
Em One night I dreamed I was in slavery Am C D Bm Em 'Bout 1850 was the time G B7 Sorrow was the only sign Am C D Bm Em Nothing around to ease my mind Em Out of the night, there came a lady Am C D Bm Em Leading a distant Pilgrim band G B7 "First mate" she cried, pointing her hand Am C D Bm Em "Make room on board for this young man"
Chorus
Em She said come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine Em Come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine D C She said her name was Harriet Tubman G B7 D Bm Em And she drove for the underground railroad
Verse 2
Em Hundreds of miles we traveled onward Am C D Bm Em Gathering slaves from town to town G B7 Seeking every lost and found Am C D Bm Em Setting those free that once were bound Em Finally, my heart was growing weaker Am C D Bm Em I fell by the wayside's sinking sand G B7 Firmly did this woman stand Am C D Bm Em She lifted me up and she took my hand
Chorus
Em And she said, come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine Em Come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine

G B7 Who are these children dressed in red? Em C D Bm Em They must be the ones that Moses led. G B7 Who are these children dressed in red? Em C D Bm Em They must be the ones that Sister Moses led.
Chorus
Em She said, come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine Em Come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine D C She said her name was Harriet Tubman G B7 D Bm Em And she drove for the underground railroad
Verse 3
Em Then I awoke, no more I faltered Am C D Bm Em Gathering strength from the tasks we're shown G B7 Sister's and brothers fleeing their homes Am C D Bm Em Their history, their families, all they've known Em They are fleeing their homes in Guatemala Am C D Bm Em Chile, Brazil, El Salvador G B7 Fleeing from the prisons and war Am C D Bm Em Thru the night and thru Mexico to our door
Chorus
Em Will we say come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine Em Come on up, I got a lifeline Am C D Bm Em Come on up to this train of mine
