The Rankin Family - Gillis Mountain

      
 
 I took a trip up Gillis Mountain
 Bm         G      A  
 On a sunny summer day
            G           Bm           Em         A    
 There were ruts in the road and the four wheel drive
 Bm                      G             A   
 Spun it's wheels in the rocks and the clay
        Bm        G             A             D    
 Yes it spun it's wheels in the rocks and the clay.
 
 D                            
 On our way up Gillis Mountain
 Bm            G      A  
 On that sunny summer day
            G            Bm      Em     A     
 There were spruce trees growing on the fields
 Bm                 G         A  
 Where fore-fathers once made hay
       Bm       G       A         D   
 Where our fore-fathers once made hay.
 
 Chorus:

     G         A  D      G       
 And oh - oh - oh Gillis Mountain
 G         A  Bm         G       A         D   
 Oh - oh - oh Where fore-fathers once made hay.
 
 D                                
 The Gillis' lived on the mountain
 Bm          G       A    
 For about a hundred years
       G       Bm      Em           A   
 Where we pick berries they cleared land
 Bm                    G         A    
 Spent their blood and sweat and tears
      Bm          G         A         D     
 They spent their blood and sweat and tears.

 When we arrived on Gillis Mountain
 C#m               A            B    
 You could see for miles in the light
     A         C#m  Fm     B   
 The whitecaps on a sea of blue
 C#m                    A      B    
 Sparkled like diamonds in the night
      C#m           A        B      E     
 They sparkled like diamonds in the night.
