Intro….
C#m------B------A--------C#m--------A----------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------B---------A-------------------------------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------B---------A-------------------------------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------B---------A--------B----------------------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------B---------A--------------------------------------------
There's a rock
in the road and a ditch on the side
A--------------F#m------------------A---------------------------
And a steep
hill that must be climbed
A------------F#m------------------E-----------------------------
It's a big
heavy load and it measures too wide
E----C#---F#m--B-----------E----A----------------------------
And a destination hard to find
A---------------------B--------------------------------------------
But I will get over I'll make it there
B--A-B--------E----A---B------C#m--------------------------
'Till I climb
up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
C#m---E-----------------B-------------C#m-------------B-----
I will get over
A-B------C#m------B-------------------------------------------
There's a stop sign ahead and it's slippery when wet
B---------------------------------------A--D-----------A---------
And a detour at every turn
A-------------F#m------E-----------------------------------------
There's a
narrowing bridge and a long threatening ridge
E--------------C#-------B-------------A--------------------------
And a big-old landslide bars return
A----------------------------B--------------------------------------
But I will get over I'll make it there
B--A-B--------E----A---B-------C#m---------------------------
There’s just no getting round it this trouble I bear
C#m---------E-------------B-------------C#m----B--------------
I will get over
A-B-------E---------------------------------------------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------G#m----A---------C#m----A------------------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------B--------A---------C#m----A------------------------------
There's a
wreck on the right and it's getting on night
A-----------C#------------B--------------------------Am--------------
And my
headlights, they won't turn on
Am--------------------B----Bm--------E-------------------------------
All the brakes
have been worn
E-------C#m-------------------------------------------------------------
And the
bumper's been torn
C#m-----A---------------------------------------------------------------
And my pride and patience are all but gone
A------------------------------------B------------------------------------
I will get over I'll make it there
A-B-------E----A--B-------C#m---------------------------------------
Till that sweet day I find it
C#m------E--------B-F#m-----------------------------------------------
And know that I’m there
F#m------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will get over
A-B-------E------------A--------------------------------------------------
I will get over
B---------C#m---------A---------B---------C#m------------------------
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
C#m------B--------A---------B--A--------------------------------------
I will get over
C#m------A-------------C#m---------------A--------B-----C#m-------

C#m--Bm----F#---A--C#m----------------------------------------------

C#m------A---B----A---B---C#m---------------------------------------
