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. A When we arrived on Gillis Mountain F#m D E You could see for miles in the light D F#m/CBm E The whitecaps on a sea of blue F#m D E Sparkled like diamonds in the night F#m D E A They sparkled like diamonds in the night.
