(I've Been Workin on the Railroad)
1. (D)We believe the word God gave us,
(G)and we do to His (D)will,
(D)but we often don't be- have us. His com-
(E7)mands we don't ful- (A7)fil.
(A7)Sa- tan tempts us and we (D)lis- ten.
(G)When provoked we often (F#7)bite.
(G)And though sin cannot en- (D)slave us, we
(D)some times don't (A7)do (D)right.
2. (D)So we need to ask, (G)"Fath- er, please forgive
(A7)all the many debts we (D)owe, (A7)owe (D)owe,
(D)So for all the sins (G)that make us ashamed
(A7)Your forgiveness we can (D)know."
3. (D)Now we know in Christ we are for- giv- en.
(D)You forgive before we even (A7)pray.
(D)But, so that we know we are for- (G)giv- en,
(D)we should ask You (A7)any- (D)way.
4. (D)And we heart- ily forgive
(D)those who happen to wrong (A7)me and you.
(D)When we (G)heart- ily forgive
(D)we know God for-(A7)gives us (D)too.
