I took a trip up Gillis Mountain

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.
