brave mountaineers

Gordon Lightfoot


 AGDAD

 DGEm
 Born in the country & I like that country smile
 AGD
Of the little girls & boys, they remind me of a child
 GEm
That I knew and a big harvest moon
 GD
That shone by suppertime in the dusty afternoon,
 GD
And I need to be there when the autumn wind goes singing
 A
Through the trestle we would climb
 DGDA7
Like brave mountaineers we never were much bothered by time.

Born in the country and I like that country song
We played for just a nickle every time we got to town
And I bought you a dime diamond ring
In the hayloft we would play we were princesses & kings
And I need to be there when the world get's too heavy
And the shadows cross my mind
Like Brave Mountaineers we never were much bothered by time

Born in the country and I like that country way
Of the uncles, aunts & cousins & the card games they would play
While the young ones slept overhead
Beneath the quilts that mother made when all the prayers were said
And I need to be there when the autumn wind goes singing
Through the trestle we would climb
Like Brave Mountaineers we never were much bothered by time
And I need to be there when the world get's too heavy
And the shadows cross my mind
Like Brave Mountaineers we never were much bothered by time
