[Verse]
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

C: X32010
D: XX0232
Em: 022000
G: 320033
