The (Em7)road

There are (D)moun tains (D)in our

way,

but we (C)climb them a step

ev ’ry (A)day.

Love, lift us (D)up where we be long,

(Bm)where the (Em)ea gles cry

on a (C)moun

tain (G)high.

Love, lift us (D)up where we be long,

(Bm)far from the (Em)world we know;

up where the (F#)clear winds (Bm)blow.

(D)Some
