                 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


Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down, no more can I do
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



The peaceful valley just over the mountain
The peaceful valley few come to know
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
