The Hardest Climb

Intro Bm G D F# [Verso 1] Bm G On the coldest winter's night, the cowboy fled into the wild D Running from the weight of the world, followed only by his own shadow F# For many moons he wandered aimlessly without food or water Bm Praying for shelter, dreaming of an oasis G D In his darkest hour, he fell to his knees, and was ready to give up F# At that moment, a divine wind blew off the cowboy's hat Bm He chased and chased his hat all the way up the mountain G As he arrived at the peak, he lifted his head and he saw it D The most beautiful thing he had ever seen F# The Jewel of the Sierras, the Lake of the Sky N.C. Tahoe [Refrão] Bm G Tahoe Oooh oh D F# Tahoe Oooh oh Bm G Tahoe Oooh oh D F# Tahoe Oooh oh [Verso 2] Bm He ran to the lake and began to drink from it G D The ice cold water quenched his thirst like a monsoon in the driest desert F# He finally had everything he had ever wanted Bm But his smile vanished as he looked into the lake D And saw the reflection of a man that he knew but did not love G And he cried out F# "Oh God, how can I have everything but feel like I am nothing?" Bm And God said D "Because man was made to suffer" D With agony, the cowboy cried G "Why did you make me, God?" F# N.C. And God proclaimed "Because the greatest view comes after the hardest climb" [Refrão] Bm G Tahoe Oooh oh D F# Tahoe Oooh oh Bm G Tahoe Oooh oh D F# Tahoe Oooh oh
