J.P. Cormier - Highland dream

I ^Cwork on the railroad, my ^Fname is ^CPeyton I come from the East, far a^Fwa^Cy Where the ^FCape Breton hills touch the ^Am7starlit waters My ^Ghome peaceful there ^Clays ^G

I ^Ccame to the West for the ^Fwork was ^Cplenty Building the steel high^Fwa^Cy So I ^Fleft all I own and the ^Am7lass who loved me ^GVowing to come home one ^Cday ^{F C}

And last night we ^Gwalked o'er the ^Cmountains Through sunset ^Gfields touched with ^Cgold And all the ^Ambirds sang her ^Emname In my highland ^Fdream ^Csus4I was ^Gonce again ^Chome ^{F C G C F C G}

'Neath the ^Chot prairie sun I will ^Fswing this ^Chammer One dollar, one mile a ^Fda^Cy And I'd ^Flay the rails down from the ^Am7Rockies to Mabou My^Gself, to see my love's ^Cface ^G

Oh, the ^Ciron road runs to the ^FEast like ^Csilver Polished by our own sweat and ^Fte^Cars And ^Fmany are those who have ^Am7worked 'til they've fallen They ^Gcame with their dreams and ^Cdied here ^{F C}

But last night we ^Gwalked o'er the ^Cmountains Through sunset ^Gfields touched with ^Cgold And all the ^Ambirds sang her ^Emname In my highland ^Fdream ^Csus4I was ^Gonce again ^Chome ^{F C G C F C G}

Oh, the ^Cwinter is nigh and my ^Fstrength is ^Cwaning The fever has reddened my ^Fbr^Cow But a ^Ffull skin of gold I have ^Am7earned with my labour ^GJust a few days from ^Chome now ^G

Oh, the ^Cblack midnight holds the ^Fpromise of ^Cmorning But the sunrise I'll never ^Fse^Ce Lord, ^Ftake my soul back o'er the ^Am7mountains of Mabou To ^Gsee if she waited for ^Cme ^{F C}

For last night we ^Gwalked o'er the ^Cmountains Through sunset ^Gfields touched with ^Cgold And all the ^Ambirds sang her ^Emname In my highland ^Fdream ^Csus4I was ^Gonce again ^Chome ^{F C} And just like the ^Ambirds, my soul sings her ^Emname In my highland ^Fdream ^Csus4I have ^Gmade it ^Chome
