VERSE ONE
C
Am
Born in the heat of a desert
Dm7
G7
My mother died givin' me life
C
Am
Despised and disliked by my Father,
Dm7
G7
Blamed for the loss of his wife.
C
Am
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison,
Dm7
G7
For something that I've never done;
C
Em
It's been one hill after another,
F
Dm7
G7
And I've climbed them Lord,one by one.
C
F
C
But this time,You gave me a mountain,
F
C
A mountain I may never climb;
F
C
it isn't a hill any longer,
F
C
You gave me a mountain this time.
STRUM THE ?C? TO GET INTO THE VERSE
C
Am
My Woman got tired of the hardship
Dm7
G7
Tired of the grief and the strife
C
Am
tired of workin' for nothin'
Dm7
G7
Tired of bein' my wife
C
Am
She took my one ray of sunshine
Dm7
G7
She took my pride and my joy
C
Em
She took my reason for living
F
Dm7
G7
She took my small baby boy
CHORUS
C
F
C
And this time, You gave me a mountain
F
C
A mountain I may never climb;
F
C
it isn't a hill any longer,
F
C
You gave me a mountain this time.
