Brave Mountaineers(Chords)

	        



Intro: G    F  C 

verse 1: 
                          F         C       Dm 
Born in the country and I like that country smile 
       G                             F            C 
Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child 
                  F   C       Dm 
That I knew and a big harvest moon 
     G                          F          C 
That shone by suppertime in the dusty afternoon 

 
              F 
And I need to be there 
                          C 
When the autumn wind goes singing 
                             G 
Through the trestle we would climb 
     C            F 
Like brave mountaineers 
                   C         G 
We never were much bothered by time 



verse 2: 
C                         F         C       Dm 
Born in the country and I like that country song 
   G                              F              C 
We played for just a nickel every time we got to town 
                   F    C       Dm 
And I bought you a dime diamond ring 
       G                              F              C 
In the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings 


              F 
And I need to be there 
                        C 
When the world gets too heavy 
                         G 
And the shadows cross my mind 
     C            F 
Like brave mountaineers 
                   C         G 
We never were much bothered by time 



verse 3: 
C                         F         C       Dm 
Born in the country and I like that country way 
       G                                 F                     C 
Of the uncles, aunts and cousins and the card games they would play 
                     F     C   Dm 
While the young ones slept overhead 
  G                                       F                    C 
Beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said 

 
              F 
And I need to be there 
                          C 
When the autumn wind goes singing 
                             G 
Through the trestle we would climb 
     C            F 
Like brave mountaineers 
                   C         G 
We never were much bothered by time 



Instrumental: C    F C Dm    G    F  C    F C Dm    G    F  C 


              F 
And I need to be there 
                        C 
When the world gets too heavy 
                         G 
And the shadows cross my mind 
     C            F 
Like brave mountaineers 
                   C         G 
We never were much bothered by time
