The Jupiter & The 119 (Todd Sheaffer) - [4/4], Key = F, Capo 7
G C G C
The Jupiter is gleaming, shining in the sun
G C G C
Everybody ready for the great cross country run
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story goin' down the wire ... goin' down the line?
G C G C
She's ready to be going breathing smoke & steam
G C G C
She edges on the iron and the crowd begins to scream
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?
G C G C
They fire off the cannons she blows a whistle blast
G C G C
Goes flying round the corner moving strong and moving fast
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story goin' down the wire ... goin' down the line?
C D Am G
The Jupiter is on the run heading for the setting sun
Em C
And when she rests, the east and west are tied
G
Wooooo wooooo
G C G C
Off from California from the Sacramento yard
G C G C
The 119 is moving pushing strong and pushing hard
G C G C
She's through the snowy mountains took them right in stride
G C G C
Crested the Sierras and went down the other side
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story going down the wire ... going down the line?
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?
G C G C
Across the grassed horizon across the giant plain
G C G C
Across a thousand miles of iron roars the mighty U.P. train
G C G C
She tops the Sherman summit a mighty feat of man
G C G C
Sails through echo canyon and across the dale creek span
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story going down the wire ... going down the line?
G C G C
Through the fiery desert the 119 has run
G C G C
Through the devil's gorge beneath the blazing fiery sun
G C G C
Through tunnels and through canyons cleared by shovel & by pick
G C G C
10,000 men who blasted, clawed and hauled with muscles thick
D C G
Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?
C D Am G
The Jupiter is on the run heading for the setting sun
Em C
And when she rests, the east and west are tied
G
Wooooo wooooo

G C G C
They met in Promontory from the east and west they're here
G C G C
All across the country they've raised a mighty cheer
G C G C
The mighty trains are polished on the tracks they proudly rest
G C G C
The crowd's all gathered round them dressed up in their Sunday best
G C G C
A big brass band is playing it's a bright unclouded day
G C G C
The speaker's oratory and the bosses have their say
G C G C
The reverend says a prayer it's mercifully short
G C G C
The drunken rail-men laugh and the iron horses snort
G C G C
The engines move in closer they ease in down the line
G C G C
The champagne bottles pop so fill your glass it's toasting time
G C G C
The engines ease for meeting they're nose to nose alike
G C G C
They raise the silver hammer and they nail the golden spike
