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
