Sixteen Miles chords by Gordon Lightfoot

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
