Intro….

C#m------B------A--------C#m--------A----------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------B---------A-------------------------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------B---------A-------------------------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------B---------A--------B----------------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------B---------A--------------------------------------------

There's a rock in the road and a ditch on the side
A--------------F#m------------------A---------------------------

And a steep hill that must be climbed
A------------F#m------------------E-----------------------------

It's a big heavy load and it measures too wide
E----C#---F#m--B-----------E----A----------------------------

And a destination hard to find

A---------------------B--------------------------------------------

But I will get over I'll make it there

B--A-B--------E----A---B------C#m--------------------------

'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
C#m---E-----------------B-------------C#m-------------B-----

I will get over

A-B------C#m------B-------------------------------------------

There's a stop sign ahead and it's slippery when wet

B---------------------------------------A--D-----------A---------
And a detour at every turn
A-------------F#m------E-----------------------------------------

There's a narrowing bridge and a long threatening ridge
E--------------C#-------B-------------A--------------------------

And a big-old landslide bars return

A----------------------------B--------------------------------------

But I will get over I'll make it there

B--A-B--------E----A---B-------C#m---------------------------
There’s just no getting round it this trouble I bear

C#m---------E-------------B-------------C#m----B--------------

I will get over

A-B-------E---------------------------------------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------G#m----A---------C#m----A------------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------B--------A---------C#m----A------------------------------

There's a wreck on the right and it's getting on night
A-----------C#------------B--------------------------Am--------------

And my headlights, they won't turn on
Am--------------------B----Bm--------E-------------------------------

All the brakes have been worn
E-------C#m-------------------------------------------------------------

And the bumper's been torn
C#m-----A---------------------------------------------------------------

And my pride and patience are all but gone

A------------------------------------B------------------------------------

I will get over I'll make it there

A-B-------E----A--B-------C#m---------------------------------------

Till that sweet day I find it

C#m------E--------B-F#m-----------------------------------------------

And know that I’m there

F#m------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will get over
A-B-------E------------A--------------------------------------------------

I will get over

B---------C#m---------A---------B---------C#m------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------B--------A---------B--A--------------------------------------

I will get over

C#m------A-------------C#m---------------A--------B-----C#m-------

I…….will….get….over

C#m--Bm----F#---A--C#m----------------------------------------------

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

C#m------A---B----A---B---C#m---------------------------------------

I….will get over

G#-Bm------A--------C#m--------B--------A----------------------------
