Time to Climb that Mountain By Jeff Gilpin


April 24th, 2009






[Am7]Time to climb that [G]mountain


[D]Been putting it [G]off for a [Am7]while


[Am7]Spending life by the [G]fountain


[D]While that [G]mountain gets more [Am7]vile


But I [D]waited other [G]things seemed more im[Am7]portant


[D]Put off what I needed to [Am7]do


[D]Waited knowing [G]what was waiting [Am7]for me


[D]Now the waiting’s [E]through


[Am7]Time to climb that [G]mountain


[D]What I [G]put off for so [Am7]long


[Am7]Can’t put it off any [G]longer


[D]Man that [G]mountain’s gotten [Am7]strong



But I [D]waited other [G]things seemed more im[Am7]portant


[D]Put off what I needed to [Am7]do


[D]Waited knowing [G]what was waiting [Am7]for me


[D]Now the waiting’s [E]through


[Am7]It’s easy procrasti[G]nating


[D]I’ll get [G]to it another [Am7]day


[Am7]Now I’m all out of [G]waiting


[D]Tell that [G]mountain I’m on my [Am7]way


I been [D]waited other [G]things seemed more im[Am7]portant


[D]Put off what I needed to [Am7]do


[D]Waited knowing [G]what was waiting [Am7]for me


[D]Now the waiting’s [G]through [Am7]

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: "Time to Climb that Mountain"

Thanks Ark and Russ - I'm bad about the yard too but I like it long. The wife usually does most of the cleaning but I pitch in from time to time when she gets fed up. Getting back in physical shape after being out of it for a while is a pain....quite literally. But better than the alternative I guess.
