 Song Name: Gillis Mountain
 Performer: Rankin Family
 Author: Raylene Rankin
 Submitted by: Gary Burke (gary.burke@compaq.com)
 Album: Fare Thee Well love
 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         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 itís wheels in the rocks and the clay
        Em        C             D             G
 Yes it spun itís 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 Gillisí 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/C# Bm     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.
 
 Chorus:
 -------
     D         E   A      D
 And oh - oh - oh  Gillis Mountain
 D         E   F#m           D        E      A
 Oh - oh - oh  Sparkled like diamonds in the night        }Repeat chorus, then
 
       F#m   D     E        A
 La la la la la la la la la la             ]repeat 3 times then sing acapella
 Sparkled like diamonds in the night
