Joe Bonamassa - Mountain Climbing

[Intro]

Dm

[Verse]

Dm
I’m just a poor man working day by day
Dm
Lost in the struggle, there’s a mountain in my way
Dm
So strap your boots on get ready for that first step
Dm
The uphill battle that I ain’t even started yet
F E
Chance is you’ll find me
Eb Dm
Out in the fields
G D/F#
Pounding my hammer
F A
Between stone and steel done my fair share of

[Chorus]

Gm
Mountain climbing (mountain climbing)
Gm
Whoa, it’s troubles, I’ve got ‘em
Gm
Mountain climbing (mountain climbing)
Gm Dm
Whoa, it’s blues at the bottom

[Verse 2]

Dm
Ain’t no map to follow, just follow your own path
Dm
Get close to the edge and there’s no turning back
Dm
The wind and the rain gonna push you around
Dm
Hard times try to break you, don’t ever let ‘em back you down
F E
Chance is you’ll find me
Eb Dm
Out in the fields
G D/F#
Pounding my hammer
F A
Between stone and steel done my fair share of

[Chorus 2]

Gm
Mountain climbing (mountain climbing)
Gm
Whoa, it’s troubles, I’ve got ‘em
Gm
Mountain climbing (mountain climbing)
Gm Dm
Whoa, it’s blues at the bottom

[Verse 3]

Dm
Blood on my hands and there’s holes in my jeans
Dm
You scrub all day but you never get them clean
Dm
It’s a hard rock bottom, there ain’t nothing down there but the blues
Dm
At the top of the mountain you still gotta pay your dues
F E
Chance is you’ll find me
Eb Dm
Out in the fields
G D/F#
Pounding my hammer
