Song Name: Gillis Mountain Performer: Rankin Family Author: Raylene Rankin 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. 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 (hold for 6 beats then 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
