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 it?s wheels in the rocks and the clay Em C D G Yes it spun it?s 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 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: ------- 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.
