Gordon Lightfoot - Sixteen Miles


CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO:: Dm7    G7    C  Dm7  C

VERSE 1::
                     Dm7
Early in the morning when the dew is on
                        G7               C
Each and every rosebud, you will find me gone
                                    Dm7
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again
                                     G7              C
Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name

VERSE 2::
                   Dm7
Seven lonely hours on a morning train
                           G7               C
Take me to a place where I won't come back again
                       Dm7
Seven lonely Pullmans, speeding down the line
                       G7          C
Taking me away from an old love of mine


INSTRUMENTAL:: C   Dm7   G7    C    Dm7   G7    C


VERSE 3::
                                  Dm7
Sixteen miles to seven lakes, way up among the pines
                                G7             C
In some hidden valley where the twirling river twines
                                    Dm7
Where the fish swim up and down and sparkling waters fall
                                G7          C
Where the thunder rolls and the lonely puma calls


VERSE 4::
                                Dm7
Somewhere on the mountain, I'll take another name
                            G7             C
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
                                 Dm7
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small
                          G7            C
Then forget, so I won't remember you at all
