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 itís wheels in the rocks and the clay

Em C D G

Yes it spun itís 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 Gillisí 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.
