Intro:
|G |C |G |F |G |G C |G D |G |G |

Verse 1:
G                  C           G                        F  
Every day is a gamble, if you really want to make it through
          G                           C             G      D        G
When you live on the side of the mountain, and the babies all need food
           G                  C         G                 F
I was the youngest one among us, I got sick and would not eat
 G                       C         G     D         G
Daddy prayed accept his fate, but Mommy would not heed


Chorus:
 C                   G           G              F
Carry me across the mountain, before it is too late
 C                 G     D               G
Heal my broken my body, death not be my fate
 C                   G         G               F
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
C           G                     D               G
I am but a helpless child, whose life depends on thee


|G C |G |F |G |G C |G D |G |G |


Verse 2:
 G                    C           G                 F
Daddy warned against it, said you may not make it through
 G                      C             G        D     G   
Momma wrapped me in her arms, crying what else can I do
             G                        C     G                  F
There is a place across the mountain top, across the mountain side
      G                      C           G        D      G
They say there is a doctor there, might save our baby's life


Chorus:
 C                   G           G              F
Carry me across the mountain, before it is too late
 C                 G     D               G
Heal my broken my body, death not be my fate
 C                   G         G               F
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
C           G                     D               G
I am but a helpless child, whose life depends on thee


|G C |G |F |G |G C |G D |G |G |


        G                       C     G                F
Now I stand upon the mountain top, before my mother's grave
      G                 C        G         D        G
And every year I visit here, to thank her for that day


Chorus:
 C                   G           G              F
Carry me across the mountain, before it is too late
 C                 G     D               G
Heal my broken my body, death not be my fate
 C                   G         G               F
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
