^D I took a trip up Gillis Mountain
^Bm On a sunny ^G summer ^A day
There were ^G ruts in the ^Bm road and the ^Em four wheel ^A drive
^Bm Spun it's wheels in the ^G rocks and the ^A clay
Yes it ^Bm spun it's ^G wheels in the ^A rocks and the ^D clay.
^D On our way up Gillis Mountain
^Bm On that sunny ^G summer ^A day
There were ^G spruce trees ^Bm growing ^Em on the ^A fields
^Bm Where fore-fathers ^G once made ^A hay
Where ^Bm our fore- ^G fathers ^A once made ^D hay.
Chorus:

And ^G oh - oh - ^A oh ^D Gillis ^G Mountain
^G Oh - oh - ^A oh ^Bm Where fore- ^G fathers ^A once made ^D hay.
^D The Gillis' lived on the mountain
^Bm For about a ^G hundred ^A years
Where ^G we pick ^Bm berries ^Em they cleared ^A land
^Bm Spent their blood and ^G sweat and ^A tears
They ^Bm spent their ^G blood and ^A sweat and ^D tears.
Chorus:

And ^G oh - oh - ^A oh ^D Gillis ^G Mountain
^G Oh - oh - ^A oh ^Bm Spent their ^G blood and ^A sweat and ^D tears.
^E When we arrived on Gillis Mountain
^C#m You could see for ^A miles in the ^B light
The ^A whitecaps ^C#m on a ^Fm sea of ^B blue
^C#m Sparkled like diamonds ^A in the ^B night
They ^C#m sparkled like ^A diamonds ^B in the ^E night.
Chorus:

And ^A oh - oh - ^B oh ^E Gillis ^A Mountain
^A Oh - oh - ^B oh ^C#m Sparkled like ^A diamonds ^B in the ^E night x2
La la ^C#m la la ^A la la ^B la la la ^E la x3
Sparkled like diamonds in the night 1x slow, no guitar
