You Gave Me A Mountain chords by Marty Robbins

Intro:
C


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
