Brave Mountaineers

By Gordon Lightfoot

From the Don Quixote LP

Transcribed by Dan Nicholas

I use a Capo on the first fret.

[A] [G] [D] [A] [D]

[D]Born in the country & I [G]like that country [Em]smile

Of the [A]little girls & boys, they re[G]mind me of a [D]child

That I knew and a [G]big harvest [Em]moon

That shone by suppertime in the [G]dusty after[D]noon,

And I need to [G]be there when the autumn wind goes sin[D]ging

Through the trestle we would [A]climb

Like [D]brave mountain[G]eers we never were much [D]bothered by [A7]time.

Born in the country and I like that country song

We played for just a nickle every time we got to town

And I bought you a dime diamond ring

In the hayloft we would play we were princesses & kings

And I need to be there when the world get's too heavy

And the shadows cross my mind

Like Brave Mountaineers we never were much bothered by time

Born in the country and I like that country way

Of the uncles, aunts & cousins & the card games they would play

While the young ones slept overhead

Beneath the quilts that mother made when all the prayers were said

And I need to be there when the autumn wind goes singing

Through the trestle we would climb

Like Brave Mountaineers we never were much bothered by time

And I need to be there when the world get's too heavy

And the shadows cross my mind

Like Brave Mountaineers we never were much bothered by time
