You Gave Me A Mountain Chords

   
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.

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

C                        Am
My Woman got tired of the hardships,
    Dm7                  G7
Tired of the grief and the strife;
C                     Am
So tired of workin' for nothin',
Dm7              G7
 Tired of bein' my wife,
C                         Am
She took my one ray of sun-shine,
   F                    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
So this time, Lord, you gave me a Mountain,
          F           C      G
A Mountain I may never climb;
C            F         C
And it isn't a hill any longer,
             F             C     G
You gave me a Mountain this time. o o  o
