Em D
In the morning, just as I awoke, a stage rolled into town
Em D
Drawn by six white horses, hooves, that thundered on the ground
Em D
The driver stepped down from the coach, people gathered ‘round
C D Em C D Em
He said " this stage is glory bound, yes this stage is glory bound”

Em D
The family from the general store, the sheriff and his wife
Em D
Moved on to the bar room, where two men stood up to fight
Em D
He motioned to the hired gun, the gambler with a knife
C D Em C D Em
And he said "This stage is glory bound . . . yes this stage is glory bound"

G G/F# Em
Some stood by to listen, while others turned away
C D Em
A few began to climb aboard and said "Don't hesitate"
G G/F# Em
He said "You’ll need no ticket, friend, you know your fare's been paid"
C D Em C D Em
Calling this stage is glory bound . . . and this stage is glory bound" (Oh the lost been found)
(Oh the lost been found)
Em D
The driver glanced up in the sky, he said "It's getting late"
Em D
Moving swiftly, through the crowd, stepping up his pace
Em D
Down the walk and through the streets, shouting "Don't you wait"
C D Em C D Em
An calling "This stage is glory bound . . . yes, this stage is glory bound”

Em D
Night began to trickle, to the edges of our town
Em D
The driver lifted up the reins, to turned the coach around
Em D
A trumpet broke the twilight; six white horses”” left the ground
C D Em C D Em
And he said "This stage is glory bound, oh the lost been found”
