Gordon Lightfoot - Sixteen miles

Early in the morning ^Dm7when the dew is on Each and every rosebud, ^G7you will find me ^Cgone So knock me down and pick me up and ^Dm7knock me down again Break my heart and steal my gold and ^G7slander my good ^Cname

Seven lonely hours ^Dm7on a morning train Take me to a place where I ^G7won't come back a^Cgain Seven lonely Pullmans, ^Dm7speeding down the line Taking me away from an ^G7old love of ^Cmine

Sixteen miles to seven lakes, way ^Dm7up among the pines In some hidden valley where the ^G7twirling river ^Ctwines Where the fish swim up and down and ^Dm7sparkling waters fall Where the thunder rolls and the ^G7lonely puma ^Ccalls

Somewhere on the mountain, I'll ^Dm7take another name Rid my mind of memories and ^G7start my life a^Cgain Somewhere in the wilderness I'll ^Dm7build a cabin small Then forget, so I won't re^G7member you at ^Call
