 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.  
  

C F C But this time, Lord, You gave me a Mountain, F C Bb F C A Mountain I may never climb; C F C And it isn't a hill any longer, F C Bb F C You gave me a Mountain this time.
My Woman got tired of the hardships, Tired of the grief and the strife; So tired of workin' for nothin', Tired of bein' my wife, She took my one ray of sun-shine, She took my pride and my joy; She took my reason for living, She took my small baby boy. Chorus So this time, Lord, you gave me a Mountain, A Mountain I may never climb; And it isn't a hill any longer, You gave me a Mountain this time.
