I am sure of the B bass note, and the chord sounds alright, But I would be willing to try other chords anyone cares to suggest.

^GI took a trip up Gillis Mountain ^EmOn a sunny ^Csummer ^Dday There were ^Cruts in the ^Em/Broad and the ^Amfour wheel ^Ddrive ^EmSpun it's wheels in the ^Crocks and the ^Dclay Yes it ^Emspun it's ^Cwheels in the ^Drocks and the ^Gclay.

On our way up Gillis Mountain On that sunny summer day There were spruce trees growing on the fields Where fore-fathers once made hay Where our fore-fathers once made hay. Chorus: -------

And ^Coh - oh - ^Doh ^GGillis ^CMountain ^COh - oh - ^Doh ^EmWhere fore-^Cfathers ^Donce made ^Ghay.

The Gillis' lived on the mountain For about a hundred years Where we pick berries they cleared land Spent their blood and sweat and tears They spent their blood and sweat and tears. Chorus: -------
