[Verse 1]
D5 D
We climbed a mountain
G D
And I picked wildflowers and put ‘em in her hair
G A
And at the top we found a meadow
D G
And danced barefoot in the grass
D A D
And I’m not lying there were bluebirds in the air
N.C. D
It was a long one
G D
There was a time or two we felt like giving up
G A
But every fall and every stumble made us
D G
Stop and see the wonder
D A D
With your hand in mine we pushed on towards the top
[Chorus]
N.C. Em F#m
Why, do people climb mountains?
G A D
Is it just to reach the top and see the view?
N.C. Em F#m
Well I, tell you something
D
Every rock and every river
G
Every sore and every splinter
D A D
I would climb every mountain with you
[Verse 2]
D
Well the clouds rolled in
G D
There was lightning there was thunder there was rain
G A
As we hid beneath our shelter
D G
All the doubts that we had felt
D A D
Came pouring in as a flood we had to face
D
Then came the sunshine
G D
The clouds rolled back and color filled the earth
G A
And the rain had brought the flowers
D G
You could sit and stare for hours
D A D
And the toil and the struggle showed its worth
[Chorus 2]
N.C. Em F#m
Why, do people climb mountains?
G A D
Is it just to reach the top and see the view?
N.C. Em F#m
Well I, tell you something
D
Every rock and every river
G A
Every sore and every splinter
D
In the summer, in the winter
G A
When it's warm and when we shiver
D A D
I would climb every mountain with you
