CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: G+G


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

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


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


INTERLUDE: E minorEm  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G

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


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


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


INTERLUDE: E minorEm  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G


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


CHORUS:
                A minorAm   E minorEm
If I could only fly___
                   C majorC  G+G
If I could build a bridge
                 D MajorD
I'd carry you my love
                   E minorEm     G+G
Across this barren ridge
                        A minorAm   E minorEm
If there were just some way___
                                C majorC G+G
I'd pull a carriage through the snow
        C majorC            G+G               D MajorD               E minorEm
Take ye over Kelly's Mountain to the village there below

INSTRUMENTAL:


                ** Key Change - 2 Semitones Up **


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


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


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