Chippin' Away

They say the [D]mountain is high
[G]And [A]you’ll never [D]move it.[G]        [A]
Ah, but be[D]fore I believe that,
[G]They’ll [A]just have to [D]prove it[G].       [A]
I have a [D]hammer in my hand,
[G]And [A]faith in my [D]heart.  [G]          [A]
I’ve already [G]waited too long[Em],
                 [A]     [G]     [D] [G] [A]

And I’m ready to start.

[D]Chippin’ away, [G]little by little, [A]day by day.    [D]            [G]                    [A]
[D]Chippin’ away, and the [G]walls will come [A]tumbling [D]down.
[G]Oh what a [A]wonderful [D]sound.  [G]          [A]

There is a wall around the church,
And a wall around the prison.
I think the wall around your heart, baby
Is blocking out your vision.

So put a hammer in your hand,
And faith in your heart.
You’ve already waited too long
Aren’t you ready to start.

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day.
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down,
Oh what a wonderful sound.
Oh what a wonderful sound.

I’ve already waited too long,
And I’m ready to start.

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day.
I will be chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down,
Oh what a wonderful sound.
Litte by little and day by day.
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down,
Oh what a wonderful sound.
