Music and Lyrics by: Dan Hartman

-4   5   6   5 6-4 5   3  -3' -3' 3 -3 -4
The mountain is high, the valley is low  
 4    5     6 -4 5  3   -3   -3" 3  3
and you're confused on which way to go.
-4   5   6   -4 5 3   -3' -3" 3 -3 -4
So I've come here to give you a hand,
-4   5    6  6 5   3   -3  -3"  3
and lead you into the promised land        
-5   7   -6  6   6   5  6   5 -4
So, come on and take a free ride, 
 7   -6  6    6    5   -6  6 -4 5
come on and stand here by my side.

All over the country, I've seen it the same,
 4 5 6    -4  5   3   -3   -3"  3  3
nobody's winning, at this kind of game.
 -4    5 6  -4  5  3   -3'  -3"  3  -3 -4
We've gotta do better, it's time to begin.
-4   5    6   6   6  5  
You know all the answers
 3    -3   -3"  3  3
must come from within.
-5   7   -6  6   6   5  6   5 -4
So, come on and take a free ride 
 7   -6  6    6    5   -6  6 -4 5
Come on and stand here by my side
 7   -6  6   6   5   6   6
Come on and take a free ride
 6     5    -4   -3
Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah
