Capo 1
[Verse]
GOnce I stood at the foot of a great high mountain
That I Dwanted so much to Gclimb
GAnd on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain
That Dflows with the water of Glife
[Verse]
GI fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain
I cried, "O DLord what must I Gdo?
GI want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain
That Dflows so clear in my Gview"
[Instrumental]
G G D G G G D G
[Verse]
GThen I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
Saying, "DChild put your hand in Gmine"
GI started climbing slowly, "Watch your steps at the edges
And Dtake one step at a Gtime"
[Verse]
GI started climbing upward taking one step at a time
The Dhigher I got the Gharder I climbed
[Instrumental]
G G D G G G D G
[Verse]
GI'm still climbing upward and my journey's almost ended
I'm Dnearing the top and you Gought to see the view
GOh the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free
So Dfriend if you're thirsty climb this Gmountain with me
