(G7)Die sel is for un be liev ers, e lec tric i ty is wrong, steam has got the pow er that will pull us a long.

There’s a (G)light at the end of the tun nel,

there’s a (G)light at the end of the tun nel.

The (G)in side might be as (Em)black as the (C7)night, but there’s a (G)light at the end of the tun nel, there’s a (G)light at the end of the tun nel,

the (G)in side (B7)might be as (Em)black as the (F9)night, but at the (G)end of the (C)tun nel there’s a light.

It’s the pow’r of James Watt the (C)steam ing (G)Scot,

the man who watched the pot and said “Hey I’ve (D)got a (G)bril liant plot when the (C)steam is (Eb7)hot

it (G)seems to make a (C)lot of (G)pow’r.

It could (G7)turn a wheel.

(Lots of pow er.) It could (G7)drive it down a track click e ty (A7)clack click e ty (D)clack.

It could (G)drive it with a (G7)beat

(choo choo (Eb7)choo) with e (G)nough (C)left (G)o ver for a woo woo.” He saw the (G)light at the end of the tun nel.

He saw a (G)light at the end of the tun nel.

Well, (G)thanks James (B7)Watt for (Em)watch ing the pot.

He saw a (G)light at the end of the tun nel,

he saw the (G)light at the end of the tun nel,

the (G)in side (B7)might be as (Em)black as the (F9)night, but at the (G)end of the (C)tun nel there’s a light.

There’s a (Bb)dark day a (C7)head when the (Bb)pow er goes (C7)dead, when the (Bb)oil runs (C7)dry mm what can we (C7)try?

(Bb)We could use (C7)the sun light, but (Bb)it don’t shine at (C7)night

(Bb)nu cle ar (C7)fis sion leaves a (Gm7)nas ty e mis sion.

(G7)Soon the pis tons will be hum ming steam will have a sec ond com ing.

We see the (Ab)light at the end of the (Db7)tun nel,

we see the (Ab)light at the end of the (Db7)tun nel.

Just (Ab)dig a (C7)hole and (Fm)haul out the (Gb7)coal.

We see the (Ab)light at the end of the tun nel, we see the (Ab)light at the end of the tun nel.

So let the (Ab)wa ter (C7)boil,
