    	    	Вступление

There is an added verse from the Rise Up Singing included, it is verse 3.


[Verse 1]

Em
One night I dreamed I was in slavery
C               D  Em
'Bout 1850 was the time
G                B7
Sorrow was the only sign
C                  D       Em
Nothing around to ease my mind
Em
Out of the night appeared a lady
C                   D      Em
Leading a distant Pilgrim band
G                          B7
"First mate" she yelled, pointing her hand
C                       D        Em
"Make room aboard for this young woman"


[Chorus]

Em
Singing come on up, I got a lifeline
C                     D      Em
Come on up to this train of mine
Em
Come on up, I got a lifeline
C                      D     Em
Come on up to this train of mine
D                             C
She said her name was Harriet Tubman
G                     D              Em
And she drove for the underground railroad


[Verse 2]

Em
Hundreds of miles we traveled onward
C                      D       Em
Gathering slaves from town to town
G               B7
Seeking every lost and found
C                        D          Em
Setting those free that once were bound
Em
Somehow my heart was growing weaker
C                         D       Em
I fell by the wayside's sinking sand
G                B7
Firmly did this lady stand
C                    D        Em
She lifted me up and took my hand


[Chorus]

Em
Singing come on up, I got a lifeline
C                     D      Em
Come on up to this train of mine
Em
Come on up, I got a lifeline
C                      D     Em
Come on up to this train of mine
D                             C
She said her name was Harriet Tubman
G                     D              Em
And she drove for the underground railroad


[Verse 3]

Em
Then I awoke, no more I faltered
C                         D          Em
Finding new strength in paths we're shown
G                      B7
Sister's and brothers fleeing their homes
C                             D           Em
Their history, their people, all they've known
Em
And they are fleeing their homes in Guatemala
C               D      Em
Chile, Brazil, El Salvador
G                   B7
Fleeing from the prisons and war
C                                D     Em
Thru the night and thru Mexico to our door


[Chorus]

Em
Singing come on up, I got a lifeline
C                     D      Em
Come on up to this train of mine
Em
Come on up, I got a lifeline
C                      D     Em
Come on up to this train of mine
D                             C
She said her name was Harriet Tubman
G                     D              Em
And she drove for the underground railroad
