                 G                    D
I went up to the mountain because you asked me to
            Em                          C
Up over the clouds to where the sky was blue
                 G             D
I could see all around me everywhere
                 Em      C     G
I could see all around me everywhere
                 G                            D
Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired
            Em                          C
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
                 G             D
Sometimes I lay down, no more can I do
                 Em      C     G
But then I go on again because you ask me to
                 C                  G
Some days I look down afraid I will fall
                   Am                      D
And though the sun shines I see nothing at all
                       C                Em     C
Then I hear your sweet voice coming in, oh
           G                          D
Telling me softly, softly you love me so
                 G                 D
The peaceful valley just over the mountain
            Em                      C
The peaceful valley few come to know
                 G             D
I may never get there ever in this lifetime
D             Em    C                  Em    C
But sooner or later, it's there I will go
          G     D                  G
Sooner or later, it's there I will go
