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.
I took a trip up Gillis Mountain
On a sunny summer day
There were ruts in the road and the four wheel drive
Spun it�s wheels in the rocks and the clay
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:
And oh - oh - oh Gillis Mountain
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:
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.
When we arrived on Gillis Mountain
You could see for miles in the light
The whitecaps on a sea of blue
Sparkled like diamonds in the night
They sparkled like diamonds in the night.
Chorus:
And oh - oh - oh Gillis Mountain
Oh - oh - oh Sparkled like diamonds in the night }Repeat chorus, then
La la la la la la la la la la )repeat 3 times then sing acapella
Sparkled like diamonds in the night
