Capo 4
  
  
Intro:   (## sung a Capella ##) 
       F   G        C   
         I will get over 
       F      G       Am 
         I'll make it there 
       Am G Am G  Am G F  Am G F  Am G  Am G  Am G  F 
  
          F           G 
There's a rock in the road 
     F            Am 
In a ditch on the side 
      F               G       C 
And a steep hill that must be climbed 
       Am        G 
It's a big heavy load 
       F            Am 
And it measures too wide 
      F                 G               F 
And a destination that's hard to find 
  
  
Chorus: 
  G        C     F 
I will get over 
     G       Am 
I'll make it there 
             C           G 
There's just no getting 'round it 
        F           G      F 
There's trouble out there 
  G        C     F 
I will get over 
     G       Am 
I'll make it there 
       C             G 
'Til I climb up that mountain 
    F                G   F 
And breathe heaven's air 
  G        C     
I will get over 
  
  
          F          G 
There's a stop sign ahead 
         F             Am 
And it's slippery when wet 
      F         G     C 
And a detour at every turn 
          Am        G 
There's a narrowing bridge 
      F                Am 
And a long threatening ridge 
      F                     G                  F 
And a big-old landslide that bars return, but 
  
  
Chorus: 
  G        C     F 
I will get over 
     G       Am 
I'll make it there 
        C             G 
'Till I climb up that mountain 
    F                G      F 
And breathe heaven's air 
  G        C     F   G Am 
I will get over 
          C          G 
'Til that poor day I find 
     F        G      F 
That nobody's there 
  G        C     
I will get over 
  
  
          F          G 
There's a wreck on the right 
         F          Am 
And it's getting on night 
        F                G          C 
And the headlights, they won't turn on 
       Am               G 
Ah, my brakes have been worn 
F             Am 
Bumper's been torn 
       F                     G              F 
And my pride and patience are all but gone 
  
  
Chorus: 
  G        C     F 
I will get over 
     G       Am 
I'll make it there 
        C             G 
'Till I climb up that mountain 
    F                G    F 
And breathe heaven's air 
  G        C     F  
I will get over 
     G       Am 
I'll make it there 
       C             G 
'Til I climb up that mountain 
    F                G                            F 
And breathe heaven's air (ooh, I'm gonna make it) 
  G        C     F 
I will get over 
     G       Am 
I'll make it there 
F 
I will get over (I will get over) 
  
I will get over (I will get over) 
  
I will get over 
  G        C 
I will get over
