Gillis Mountain Chords

   
D
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.

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.

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

G         A   Bm          G         A         D
Oh - oh - oh  Spent their blood and sweat and tears.

The whitecaps on  a  sea of blue
