[Intro]
Em   D   C   G

Em   D   C   G

[Verse 1]
Em                  D
O how high would I climb mountains
C                         G
If the mountains were where You hide
Em                    D
O how far I'd scale the valleys
C                  G
If You graced the other side

[Verse 2]
Em                  D
O how long have I chased rivers
C                   G
From lowly seas to where they rise
Em                D
Against the rush of grace descending
C                 G
From the source of its supply

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C          D          Em
'Cause in the highlands and the heartache
G                 D
You're neither more or less inclined
C           D         Em
I would search and stop at nothing
C
You're just not that hard to find

[Chorus]
G
I will praise You on the mountain
D
And I will praise You
Em
When the mountain's in my way
D
You're the summit where my feet are
C
So I will praise You
G
In the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D
No less faithful
Em
When the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C
In the highlands
Em   D   C   G
And the heartache all the same

[Verse 3]
Em                   D
O how far beneath Your glory
C                   G
Does Your kindness extend the path
Em               D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
C                    G
To where You sweep the sinner's past

[Verse 4]
Em                      D
O how fast would You come running
C                       G
If just to shadow me through the night
Em                    D
Trace my steps through all my failure
C              G
And walk me out the other side

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C      D           Em
For who could dare ascend that mountain
G                D
That valleyed hill called Calvary
C     D           Em
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
C
Who like a lamb was slain for me

[Chorus]
G
I will praise You on the mountain
D
And I will praise You
Em
When the mountain's in my way
D
You're the summit where my feet are
C
So I will praise You
G
In the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D
No less faithful
Em
When the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C
In the highlands
Em   D   C   G
And the heartache all the same

[Bridge]
Em                     D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am
C
Your name can move mountains
G
Wherever I stand
Em
And if ever I walk through
D
The valley of death
C
I'll sing through the shadows
G
My song of ascent

[Tag]
Em    D     C    G
My song of ascent, woah, woah
Em    D     C    G
My song of ascent, woah, woah

[Pre-Chorus 3]
C       D        Em
From the gravest of all valleys
G                  D
Come the pastures we call grace
C        D      Em
A mighty river flowing upwards
C
From a deep but empty grave

[Chorus 2]
G
I will praise You on the mountain
D
And I will praise You
Em
When the mountain's in my way
D
You're the summit where my feet are
C
So I will praise You
G
In the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D
No less faithful
Em
When the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C
In the highlands
G
And the heartache all the same
