[Verse 1]
C Am
Born in the heat of the desert
Dm G7
My mother died giving me life
C Am
Despised and disliked by my father
Dm G7
Blamed for the loss of his wife
C Am
You know Lord I've been in a prison
Dm G7
For something that I'd never done
C Em
It's been one hill after another
Dm G7
And I've climbed them Lord, one by one
[Chorus]
C F C
But this time you gave me a mountain
F C
A mountain I may never climb
F C
It isn't a hill any longer
F C
You gave me a mountain this time
[Verse 2]
C Am
My woman got tired of the hardships
Dm G7
Tired of the grief and the strife
C Am
Tired of working for nothing
Dm G7
Tired of being my wife
C Am
She took my one ray of sunshine
Dm G7
She took my pride and my joy
C Em
She took my reason for living
Dm G7
She took my small baby boy
[Chorus]
C F C
But this time you gave me a mountain
F C
A mountain I may never climb
F C
It isn't a hill any longer
F C
You gave me a mountain this time
