Marty Robbins – You Gave Me A Mountain (Guitar)

C                       Am
Born in the heat of the desert

   Dm                    G7
My mother died giving me life

C                             Am
  Despised and disliked by my 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 that I'd never done

     C                     Em
It's been one hill after another

    Dm                             G7
And I've climbed them Lord, one by one

    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

   C                      Am
My woman got tired of the hardships

Dm                         G7
Tired of the grief and the strife

C                      Am
  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

Dm                     G7
She took my small baby boy

    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
