Verse 1:
[G]Every day is a gamb[C]le, if you r[G]eally want to make it thr[F]ough
When you l[G]ive on the side of the mount[C]ain, and the b[G]abies a[D]ll need f[G]ood
I was the y[G]oungest one among u[C]s, I got s[G]ick and would not [F]eat
D[G]addy prayed accept his f[C]ate, but M[G]ommy w[D]ould not h[G]eed
Chorus:
C[C]arry me across the m[G]ountain, bef[G]ore it is too l[F]ate
H[C]eal my broken my b[G]ody, d[D]eath not be my f[G]ate
C[C]arry me across the m[G]ountain, d[G]on't give up on [F]me
[C]I am but a h[G]elpless child, whose l[D]ife depends on t[G]hee

D[G]addy warned against i[C]t, said you [G]may not make it th[F]rough
M[G]omma wrapped me in her [C]arms, crying w[G]hat else [D]can I [G]do
There is a pl[G]ace across the mountain t[C]op, ac[G]ross the mountain s[F]ide
They s[G]ay there is a doctor th[C]ere, might s[G]ave our b[D]aby's l[G]ife
