Up to the Mountain (MLK Song) [Live] — Patty Griffin

Chords and lyrics for Up to the Mountain (MLK Song) [Live] by Patty Griffin (key of B).

Intro

[B]

I went up to the mountain
because you [F#/C#]asked me to
up over the clouds
[Fm/G#]to [G#m/B]where the sky was [E]blue

I could see you're [B/D#]around me
[E/B] [B/F#]everywhere
[F#]I could see you're around [G#m]me
[E]everywhere

[B5] [E] [B]

Sometimes I feel like
I've never been looked in but [F#/A#]I am
and [D#m][F#/C#]I'll be working
[G#m]till the day I [B]expire

[E]Sometimes I [B/F#]lay [E]down
[B]No more can I do
[F#/C#]Then I go on again
[G#] [F#sus2/G#] [D#m] [C#m/G#]because you asked [B/F#]me to

Some days I look [G#m]down
[E][Am][E][C#m]Afraid I will fall
[B][E][B]and both the sun shines
[C#m/G#]I see nothing

[F#sus2] [F#]and I hear your sweet voice
[E/B]Oh, [C#m]come and then go
[F#/C#][G#m/B]Come [F#sus2]and then go
[E]Telling me softly
[B]You left me so

[F#]The peaceful valley
[B/F#]just [F#]over the mountain
[B/F#] [F#/C#]The peaceful [G#m]valley
If you have [E]to know

[C#m]I may never get [F#m/C#]there
[B]Ever in [F#]this lifetime
Soon or [G#m/B]later
[B] [E]Soon I will go

[G#m]of [B][E]sooner or later
[B] [F#]Soon I will go
