[Intro]
C F C G7
[Verse 1]
C Am Born in the heat of the desert Dm G7 My mother died giving me life C Am Deprived of the love of a father Dm G7 Blamed for the loss of his wife C Am You know, Lord, I've been in a prison Dm G7 For something I've never done C Em It's been one hill after another F G7 But I've climbed them all one by one
[Chorus]
C F C But this time, you gave me a mountain C F C A mountain that I may never climb C F C And it isn't a hill any longer C F C G7 You gave me a mountain this time
[Verse 2]
C Am My woman got tired of the hardships Dm G7 Tired of the grief and the strife C Am So tired of working for nothing Dm G7 Tired of being my wife C Am She took my one ray of sunshine Dm G7 She took my pride and my joy C Em She took my reason for living F G7 Oh, she took my small baby boy
[Chorus]
C F C So this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain C F C A mountain that I may never climb C F C And it isn't a hill any longer C F C You gave me a mountain this time C F N.C. G7 N.C. F C/E Dm C You gave me a mountain... this... time
