Brave Mountaineers Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] G F C
[VERSE 1:]
Born in the country and I [F]like that [C]country [Dm]smile
Of the [G]little girls and boys, they re[F]mind me of a [C]child
That I knew and a [F]big [C]harvest [Dm]moon
That [G]shone by suppertime in the [F]dusty after[C]noon
[CBORUS:]
And I need to [F]be there
When the autumn wind goes [C]singing
Through the trestle we would [G]climb
Like [C]brave mountai[F]neers
We never were much [C]bothered b[G]y time
[VERSE 2:]
[C]Born in the country and I [F]like that [C]country [Dm]song
We [G]played for just a nickel every [F]time we got to [C]town
And I bought you a [F]dime [C]diamond [Dm]ring
In the [G]hayloft we would play, we were [F]princesses and [C]kings
[CBORUS:]
And I need to [F]be there
When the world gets too [C]heavy
And the shadows cross my [G]mind
Like [C]brave mountai[F]neers
We never were much [C]bothered b[G]y time
[VERSE 3:]
[C]Born in the country and I [F]like that [C]country [Dm]way
Of the [G]uncles, aunts and cousins and the [F]card games they would [C]play
While the young ones [F]slept [C]over[Dm]head
Be[G]neath the quilts that mother made, when [F]all the prayers were [C]said
[CBORUS:]
And I need to [F]be there
When the autumn wind goes [C]singing
Through the trestle we would [G]climb
Like [C]brave mountai[F]neers
We never were much [C]bothered b[G]y time
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F C Dm G F C F C Dm G F C
[CBORUS:]
And I need to [F]be there
When the world gets too [C]heavy
And the shadows cross my [G]mind
Like [C]brave mountai[F]neers
We never were much [C]bothered b[G]y time
[OUTRO:] (## repeat and fade to end ##)
[C] [F] [C] [Dm] [G] [F] [C]
