J.P. Cormier - Kelly's Mountain


CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: G

CHORUS:
        Am  Em
If I could only fly___
          C G
If I could build a bridge
         D
I'd carry you my love
          Em   G
Across this barren ridge
            Am  Em
If there were just some way___
                C G
I'd pull a carriage through the snow
    C      G        D        Em
Take ye over Kelly's Mountain to the village there below
    C     D  G
And no one would ever know
🎸

    Em             G
Oh, the snow was high again in the year of 1910
      C      G          D
When I rode over Kelly's top from Lake Bras d'Or
     Em              G
O'er the mountain I had come, without rapier, without gun
  C         G       D   C   G
To fetch my father's order from the Saint Anne's Store


   Em               G
As I purchased my supplies, a pretty maiden caught my eye
  C       G        D
Her beauty shone upon me like the sun
   Em          G
As my heart melted away, I heard somebody say
   C        G      D   C  G
"That is the daughter fair of Hugh McGow-how-wan"


INTERLUDE: Em C D G


     Em                G
Well, she knew she'd caught my eye and she smiled as she walked by
    C        G        D
Saying "Meet me when the stars come out tonight.
    Em            G
On the highroad I will wait, by old Don Campbell's gate
     C       G         D C G
And we'll sing a song of love there in the moonlight"


CHORUS:
        Am  Em
If I could only fly___
          C G
If I could build a bridge
         D
I'd carry you my love
          Em   G
Across this barren ridge
            Am  Em
If there were just some way___
                C G
I'd pull a carriage through the snow
    C      G        D        Em
Take ye over Kelly's Mountain to the village there below
    C     D  G
And no one would ever know


     Em           G
I knew McGowan was a man with a very heavy hand
    C        G       D
And his daughter was the meaning to his life
    Em              G
All her suitors, they had come to the wrong end of his gun
  C       G        D C   G
As long as he was living, she'd be no man's wife


INTERLUDE: Em C D G


   Em               G
But I met her 'neath the stars and I took her in my arms
    C           G         D
And she said, "Please take me with you when you go.
      Em           G
Beneath my father's cruel hand, no longer I can stand
   C         G       D  C G
I'll leave with you and he will never know-ho-ho"


CHORUS:
        Am  Em
If I could only fly___
          C G
If I could build a bridge
         D
I'd carry you my love
          Em   G
Across this barren ridge
            Am  Em
If there were just some way___
                C G
I'd pull a carriage through the snow
    C      G        D        Em
Take ye over Kelly's Mountain to the village there below
    C     D  G
And no one would ever know


INSTRUMENTAL:


        ** Key Change - 2 Semitones Up **


    F#m            A
We were halfway up the hill when a gunshot broke the still
   D         A       E
And I felt the pain burn deep within my side
       F#m           A
She said, "My God, we have to run, my father has a gun
     D       A        E  D A
And he'll never let you take me as your bri-i-ide!"


   F#m              A
In my pain I slipped and fell and it wasn't hard to tell
    D        A       E
That McGowan cursed my soul not far behind
       F#m               A
I pulled her sovereign to my breast, saying "Here I've come to rest,
      D        A        E D A
But there's something that I wish before I'm dy-i-ing


CHORUS:
          Bm  F#m
"If you could only fly___
           D A
If you could build a bridge
         E
You carry me, my love
          F#m  A
Across this barren ridge
           Bm  F#m
Please tell my father why___
             D A
You had to bury me in the snow
     D       A          E       F#m
Near the top of Kelly's Mountain, where the winds forever blow
   D    E  A
Or no one will ever know
     D       A          E       F#m
Near the top of Kelly's Mountain, where the winds forever blow___
N.C. D    E  A    F#m D A
