Born in the heat of the desert          My mother died giving me life.


C                                          Am          F                                      G

You know Lord,  I've been in a prison       For something that I never done

C                                       Em            F                                                  G
It's been one hill after another      But I've climbed them all  one by one

Oh, But this time   Lord you gave me    A mountain

A mountain  that I   may never climb

    C                  F              C          C7
It isn't  Lord a hill    anylonger

         C                   F                       C
You gave me    a mountain  this time


2nd Verse:  same progression as 1st verse


My Woman got tired of the heartache.  Tired of the grief and the strife.
So tired of working for nothing.  Just Tired of being my wife.

She took my one ray of sunshine.  She took my pride and my joy.
She took my reason for living.  she took my small baby boy
