Sixteen Miles Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] Dm7 G7 C Dm7 C
[VERSE 1:]
Early in the morning [Dm7]when the dew is on
Each and every rosebud, [G7]you will find me [C]gone
So knock me down and pick me up and [Dm7]knock me down again
Break my heart and steal my gold and [G7]slander my good [C]name
[VERSE 2:]
Seven lonely hours [Dm7]on a morning train
Take me to a place where I [G7]won't come back a[C]gain
Seven lonely Pullmans, [Dm7]speeding down the line
Taking me away from an [G7]old love of [C]mine
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C Dm7 G7 C Dm7 G7 C
[VERSE 3:]
Sixteen miles to seven lakes, way [Dm7]up among the pines
In some hidden valley where the [G7]twirling river [C]twines
Where the fish swim up and down and [Dm7]sparkling waters fall
Where the thunder rolls and the [G7]lonely puma [C]calls
[VERSE 4:]
Somewhere on the mountain, I'll [Dm7]take another name
Rid my mind of memories and [G7]start my life a[C]gain
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll [Dm7]build a cabin small
Then forget, so I won't re[G7]member you at [C]all
[OUTRO:] C Dm7 G7 C Dm7 C
