J.P. Cormier - Kelly's Mountain


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
    C majorC     D MajorD  G+G
And no one would ever know

    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___
N.C. D MajorD    E MajorE  A augmentedA    F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
