[Verse 1]
C                       Am
Born in the heat of the desert
Dm7                      | G7sus4 G |
 My mother died givin' me life
C                          Am
 Deprived of the love of a father,
Dm7                        | G7sus4 G |
 Blamed for the loss of his wife
    C                          Am
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison,
    F6                     G7sus4
For something that I never done
     C                    Em
It's been one hill after another,
F                                 G7sus4
 But I've climbed them all one by one

[Chorus]
        C                    F        |  C  |  %  | 
Oh, but this time, Lord, You gave me a mountain
  C          F          | C    Bb F | C |
A mountain I-I may never climb
   C          F       | C | % |
It isn't on a hill any longer
    C         F            | C | C   Bb F |
You gave me a mountain this time

[Verse 2]
C                          Am
 My woman got tired of the heartaches
Dm7                         | G7sus4 G |
 Tired of the grief and the strife
   C                    Am
So tired of workin' for nothin'
     Dm7              | G7sus4 G |
Just tired of bein' my wife
C                       Am
 She took my one ray of sunshine,
Dm7                      | G7sus4 G |
 She took my pride and my joy
C                       Em
 She took my reason for living
F                      | G7sus4 G |
 She took my small baby boy

[Chorus]
    C                    F        |  C  |  %  | 
Oh, this time, Lord, You gave me a mountain
  C          F           | C    Bb F | C |
A mountain I-I may never climb
   C          F        | C | % | 
It isn't on a hill any longer
    C         F            | C | % |
You gave me a mountain this time

[Coda]
    C         F                [ C ]
You gave me a mountain ... this time
 C     C/E F         Ab Bb | C    Bb  F | C
                                  Oh, oh, oh
(Gave me a mountain     this time)
