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
[OUTRO:] C Dm7 G7 C Dm7 C
