(ver. 1)
Statler Brothers
[Intro]
C     C


[Verse 1]
C
Moses led God's children out to find the promised land

And on the way he'd stop each day and look to Heaven and
      F                                                 F7
Asked God for help as he could not withstand the task alone
     C
And then one day he looked away and thereby lay a stone


[Verse 2]
    G                            G7
God said write upon this stone these words I say to you
    F
And if you all obey my rules I'll see you safely through
    G7                                                D
God opened Heaven's door and then He guided Moses' hand
    F                        D                G7
And said go and tell my children these are my commands


[Chorus]
       C
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
C
Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say


[Verse 3]
C
   Thou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command
C
And thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand
     F
Thou shalt not take My name in vain if thou would guiltless be
 C
Remember thou to keep the Sabbath day alone for me
G7               G
Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill
      F7
Thou shalt not commit adultery and thou shalt not steal
 G7
Love thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace
 F7                             G7      G           G7
Covet not thou neighbor's house nor anything that's his


[Chorus]
       C
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
      C                                                             D
Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say


[Verse 4]
D
Moses showed these words of God to all the children then
D
They pulled up stakes and headed out to find the promised land
     G
That Moses had described to them and told of comforts there
    D
The children of oppression thought they'd not find anywhere
    A7
But they were soon to part from him and push alone awhile
    G
For it was never meant for him to walk that final mile
       A7
The children cried if we must go on Moses without you
D                                       G7
Then talk to God just one more time and tell us what to do


[Chorus]
       D
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
      D
Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say


[Chorus]
       D
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
       D
Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say
