Motown's reputation for musical [Ab] creativity was also evident with Marvin [G] Gaye as he [Bm] teamed up with a new partner [Em] in song, [G] Tammy Turrell.
[D] Well, let me ask you a question.
[Ab] A personal question.
No.
[G] Oh.
[Em] How about an [G] impersonal question?
Okay.
[D] Okay.
How old are you?
[Ab] That's personal.
Oh.
[G] Well, figure.
[Bm] But I'm [Em] proud.
I'm 21.
21! [D] 21!
[Ab] Tammy Turrell, on stage [Bm] with this jockey, Scott Regan, in [Em] 1966, [Gbm] just before she [G] recorded her first [Em] duet with [A] Marvin Gaye.
Ain't no [Bm] mountain high enough.
That was a good [Em] beginning because I [A] had no idea [Bm] that Tammy was as good a singer as [Em] she, [A] of course, [Bm] turned out to be.
[E] I hadn't had a chance to [Bm] hear her [G] sing before I met her.
[D] But some people who were on their [Ab] toes dug herself and perhaps realized that we [Em] may [G] possibly make a good [D] duet.
Ludie Montgomery remembers the [Ab] magic between Marvin and her older [G] sister, Tammy.
I [Bm] thought Marvin [Em] was handsome [G] and debonair and [Em] smooth [Gbm] and especially [Bm] real cool.
Tammy was [Em] so vivacious [Gbm] and energetic.
[Bm]
They would look into each [Em] other's eyes and if [Gbm] you didn't know [Bm] the relationship [E] that they had, you would have thought they were lovers [G] because they were [B] so intertwined.
I liked them together very, very much.
So it was a challenge and something groovy to do.
[Ab] Besides, she [Bm] was [E] very pretty.
[A] [Abm]
[G] [Bm] [Em] [G] Listen, baby.

Ain't no valley.

[B] baby.
[D] If you need [Ab] me, call me.
No matter [G] where you [Bm] are.
No matter [Em] how [G] far.
Don't [D] worry, baby.
Just call [Ab] my name.
I'll be there [G] in a hurry.
[Bm] You don't [Em] have to worry.
[Gbm]
Oh, baby, [G] there ain't [Em] no mountain [A] [Bm] high enough.
Ain't [Em] no [Gbm] valley low [Bm]
enough.
Ain't [Em] no river [Gbm] [Bm] wide enough.
[E] To keep me from getting [G] to you, baby.
Remember [D] the day I set [Ab] you free?
I told you [G] you could [Bm] always count [Em] on me, girl.
[Bm] And on that day on, I [Ab] made a vow.
I'll be there [G] when you want me [Bm] some way, somehow.
Oh, [D]

My love [A] is way down in [Ab] my heart.
[Cm] All the way [Fm] a mile [Cm] apart.
