C                       Am
Born in the heat of the desert

Dm7                      | G7sus4 G7 |
 My mother died givin' me life

C                          Am
 Deprived of the love of a father,

Dm7                        | G7sus4 G7 |
 Blamed for the loss of his wife

    C                          Am
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison,

    F6                     G7sus4
For something that I never done

     C                    Em
It's been one hill after another,

F                                 G7sus4
 But I've climbed them all one by one

        C                    F        |  C  |  %  | 
Oh, but this time, Lord, You gave me a mountain

  C          F          | C    Bb F | C |
A mountain I-I may never climb

   C          F       | C | % |
It isn't on a hill any longer

    C         F            | C | C   Bb F |
You gave me a mountain this time

C                          Am
 My woman got tired of the heartaches

Dm7                         | G7sus4 G7 |
 Tired of the grief and the strife

   C                    Am
So tired of workin' for nothin'

     Dm7              | G7sus4 G7 |
Just tired of bein' my wife

C                       Am
 She took my one ray of sunshine,

Dm7                      | G7sus4 G7 |
 She took my pride and my joy

C                       Em
 She took my reason for living

F                      | G7sus4 G7 |
 She took my small baby boy

    C                    F        |  C  |  %  | 
Oh, this time, Lord, You gave me a mountain

  C          F           | C    Bb F | C |
A mountain I-I may never climb

   C          F        | C | % | 
It isn't on a hill any longer

    C         F            | C | % |
You gave me a mountain this time

    C         F            [ C ]
You gave me a mountain this time

 C         F         Ab Bb | C    Bb  F | C
                                  Oh, oh, oh
