VERSE ONE 
 

C5                     A5 
Born in the heat of a desert 
   D5                   G5 
My mother died givin' me life 
C5                           A5 
Despised and disliked by my Father, 
D5                        G5 
Blamed for the loss of his wife. 
C5                              A5 
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison, 
     D5                      G5 
For something that I've never done; 
     C5                   E5 
It's been one hill after another, 
     F5                D5         G5 
And I've climbed them Lord,one by one. 

Refr?o -------------
    C5              F5          C5 
But this time,You gave me a mountain, 
             F5         C5 
A mountain I may never climb; 
           F5         C5 
it isn't a hill any longer, 
               F5            C5 
You gave me a mountain this time.
