Chords with lyrics
Gordon Lightfoot - Sixteen Miles
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:: Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC Dm7Dm7 C majorC
VERSE 1::
Dm7Dm7
Early in the morning when the dew is on
G7G7 C majorC
Each and every rosebud, you will find me gone
Dm7Dm7
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again
G7G7 C majorC
Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name
VERSE 2::
Dm7Dm7
Seven lonely hours on a morning train
G7G7 C majorC
Take me to a place where I won't come back again
Dm7Dm7
Seven lonely Pullmans, speeding down the line
G7G7 C majorC
Taking me away from an old love of mine
INSTRUMENTAL:: C majorC Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC
VERSE 3::
Dm7Dm7
Sixteen miles to seven lakes, way up among the pines
G7G7 C majorC
In some hidden valley where the twirling river twines
Dm7Dm7
Where the fish swim up and down and sparkling waters fall
G7G7 C majorC
Where the thunder rolls and the lonely puma calls
VERSE 4::
Dm7Dm7
Somewhere on the mountain, I'll take another name
G7G7 C majorC
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
Dm7Dm7
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small
G7G7 C majorC
Then forget, so I won't remember you at all
