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.

The whitecaps on a sea of blue

They sparkled like diamonds in the night.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RANKIN FAMILY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
