You gotta climb to scale the mountain 
                            D7 
You gotta climb to reach the top

You gotta climb climb climb don't you stop 


verse 1 
G 
Well the path is steep where it leads upward 
                        D7 
The way is rough narrow too 
          G               C 
But every step brings you higher 
           G             D7           G 
Until that mountain peak will come in view

The struggle of the climb all gone
