You gave me a mountain

You Gave Me A Mountain  
  
INTRO   C  Am  F  Fm G                             

 C                        Am  
Born in the heat of the desert,  
    Dm7                   G7  
My mother died givin' me life;  
 C                      Am  
Deprived of the love a Father,  
Dm7                        G7  
Blamed for the loss of his wife.  
C                               Am  
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison,  
      F                        G7  
For something that I've never done;  
      C                    Em  
It's been one hill after another,  
     F                Dm7         G7  
But I've climbed them all one by one.  
  


[Refrão]
 C                       F          C  
But this time, Lord, You gave me a Mountain,  
           F             C     Bb F C     
A Mountain I may never climb;  
C                F         C  
And it isn't a hill any longer,  
                F            C    Bb F C     
You gave me a Mountain this time.  

My Woman got tired of the hardships,  
Tired of the grief and the strife;  
So tired of workin' for nothin',  
Tired of bein' my wife,  
She took my one ray of sun-shine,  
She took my pride and my joy;  
She took my reason for living,  
She took my small baby boy.  

Chorus  

So this time, Lord, you gave me a Mountain,  
A Mountain I may never climb;  
And it isn't a hill any longer,  
You gave me a Mountain this time.
