[Verse 1]
       G        D  C  D   Am/C
All my heart is yearning,
G      D      C              D     Am/C
Like a candle burning in the night,
G       D       C       D   Am/C
Seasons keep on turning,
G         D            C      D    Am/C
Sometimes hard to keep up the fight.


[Pre-Chorus]
G      D         C       D       Am/C
I will climb the ancient mountain,
G      D             C              D
I will find the last flicker of the light.


[Chorus]
Em                 Bm            C   D
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro,
Am    Bm          C      D
I can see a new tomorrow,
Em                 Bm            C   D
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro,
Am      Bm         C      D
I cast away all my sorrows.

[Verse 3]
       D                C   D   Am/C
What a strange, strange freedom,
G    D       C         D     Am/C
Only free to choose my chains,
G  D           C   D   Am/C
So hard not to weaken-,
G         D      C      D   Am/C
Just give up and walk away.


[Pre-Chorus]
G      D         C       D       Am/C
I will climb the ancient mountain,
G      D             C              D
I will find the last flicker of the light.


[Chorus]
Em                 Bm            C   D
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro,
Am    Bm          C      D
I can see a new tomorrow, (oh follow me up),
Em                 Bm            C   D
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro,
Am      Bm         C        D
I cast away all my sorrows, (oh follow me up),
Em                 Bm            C   D
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro,
Am            Bm                C      D
It thrills me right down to the marrow, (oh follow me up),
Em                 Bm            C   D
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro,
Am    Bm          C      D
I can see a new tomorrow.
