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.
