Song Name: Gillis Mountain
Performer: Rankin Family
Author: Raylene Rankin
Submitted by: Gary Burke (gary.burke@compaq.com)
Album: Fare Thee Well love
Notes: I am not 100 percent sure of the Em/B in the third line. 
       I am sure of the B bass note, and the chord sounds alright,
       But I would be willing to try other chords anyone cares to suggest.

G 
I took a trip up Gillis Mountain
Em         C      D
On a sunny summer day
           C           Em/B         Am         D
There were ruts in the road and the four wheel drive
Em                      C             D
Spun ità­s wheels in the rocks and the clay
       Em        C             D             G
Yes it spun ità­s wheels in the rocks and the clay.

On our way up Gillis Mountain
On that sunny summer day
There were spruce trees growing on the fields
Where fore-fathers once made hay
Where our fore-fathers once made hay.

Chorus:
-------
    C         D   G      C
And oh - oh - oh  Gillis Mountain
C         D   Em         C       D         G
Oh - oh - oh  Where fore-fathers once made hay.

 








The Gillisà­ lived on the mountain
For about a hundred years
Where we pick berries they cleared land
Spent their blood and sweat and tears
They spent their blood and sweat and tears.

Chorus:
-------
    C         D   G      C
And oh - oh - oh  Gillis Mountain

C         D   Em          C         D         G (hold for 6 beats then E7 for 2)
Oh - oh - oh  Spent their blood and sweat and tears.

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

Chorus:
-------
    D         E   A      D
And oh - oh - oh  Gillis Mountain
D         E   F#m           D        E      A
Oh - oh - oh  Sparkled like diamonds in the night        }Repeat chorus, then

 








F#m   D     E        A
La la la la la la la la la la             ]repeat 3 times then sing acapella
Sparkled like diamonds in the night
