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]On a sunny [C]summer [D]day
There were [C]ruts in the [Em/B]road and the [Am]four wheel [D]drive
[Em]Spun its wheels in th[C]e rocks and th[D]e clay
Yes it [Em]spun it[C]s wheels in th[D]e rocks and th[G]e 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:
And [C]oh - oh - [D]oh [G]Gillis [C]Mountain
[C]Oh - oh - [D]oh [Em]Where fore-[C]fathers [D]once made [G]hay.
The Gillis 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:
And [C]oh - oh - [D]oh [G]Gillis [C]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]You could see for [D]miles in the [E]light
The [D]whitecaps [F#m/C#]on a [Bm]sea of [E]blue
[F#m]Sparkled like diamonds [D]in the [E]night
They [F#m]sparkled like [D]diamonds [E]in the [A]night.
Chorus:
And [D]oh - oh - [E]oh [A]Gillis [D]Mountain
[D]Oh - oh - [E]oh [F#m]Sparkled like [D]diamonds [E]in the [A]night }Repeat chorus, then
La la [F#m]la la [D]la la [E]la la la [A]la )repeat 3 times then sing acapella
Sparkled like diamonds in the night
