Ralph Stanley Great High Mountain Chords

_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Once I stood _ _ at the foot of a _ _ great high mountain _ _
[Bm] _ That I wanted _ _ [C]
so _ _ much to [G]
climb
On _ _ _ _ _ top of this mountain _ _ was a _ _ _ beautiful _ fountain
_ _ _ That [D] flows _ _ [C] with the water
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I fell down _ _ _ _ _ _ _ at the foot _ [E] of this [G] mountain _ _ _
I cried, _ [F] oh _ [C] _
_ [G] what must I do _
I _ _ want to climb _ _ this mountain
_ I want to drink from _ this fountain
_ _ [D] _ That's flowing _ _ [C] so clear [G] _
to my view _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Then I _ _ _ _ sweep forward _ from the top of _ this mountain
_ _ [D] _
Saying, child, _ put [Cm] your _ hand [Gb] in [G] mine _ _
_ _ _ Start [Ab] climbing [G] _
_ _ _ slowly, _ _ watch your _ _ steps at the edges
_ _ _ And take _ _ _ one [C] _ _
step [G] at a time
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
started climbing, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ taking one _ _ step at a time _ _
The higher _ _ _ I got, _ _ [D] _ [C] the harder I'm _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
still [Ab] _ _ _ climbing _
[G] _ _ _ And my _ _
[Bm] _ journey's almost ending _
_ _ I'm nearing _ _ [N] _
the [G] top
_ _ [C] And you ought [G] to see the _ view, _ _ _ the _ _ _ waterfall _ _ _ _ _
There's enough _ _ to make you free
_ _ _ So _ _ friends are thirsty, _ _ climb this [C] mountain _ with _ _ me
