Lightfoot Gordon — Sixteen miles

G                     D7sus G                     
Early in the morning when the dew is on  
 D9               D7         G                         
Each and every rose bud you will find me gone  
                                    D7sus G                      
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again  
                                    D7sus G         
Break my heart steal my gold and slander my good name  
 
 G                     D7sus G                     
Seven lonely hours on the morning train  
 D9               D7         G                         
Takes me to a place where I won't come back again 
                                    D7sus G          
Seven lonely Pullmans speeding down the line 
                                 D7sus G          
Taking me away from an old love of mine  
 
 G                     D7sus G                     
Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines  
 D9               D7         G                         
In some hidden valley where the twirling river twines 
                                    D7sus G         
Where the fish swim up and down and the sparkling water falls  
                                    D7sus G         
Where the thunder rolls and the lonely puma calls  
 
 G                     D7sus G                     
Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name 
  D9               D7         G                         
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again 
                                    D7sus G          
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small 
                                    D7sus G          
Then forget so I won't remember you at all
