C Am

Born in the heat of a desert

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.

CHORUS

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

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

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

A mountain I may never climb;

it isn't a hill any longer,

You gave me a mountain this time.
