Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Early in the morning [G]when the dew is on,
[A]each and every rose bud, [D]you will find me gone.
So knock me down and pick me up
and [G]knock me down again,
[A]Break my heart steal my gold
and slander my good [D]name.
Seven lonely hours [G]on the morning [A]train takes me
to a place where [D]I won't come back again.

[Verse 2]
[D]Seven lonely [G]Pullmans speeding down the line [A]taking me
away from an old love [D]of mine.[G][A][G][D][G]
[A][D]
Sixteen miles to seven lakes
way [G]up among the pines
[A]In some hidden valley where
[D]the twirling river twines.

[Verse 3]
[D]Where the fish swim up and down
and the spark[G]ling water falls,
Where [A]the thunder rolls and the lonely puma call[D]s,
Somewhere on the mountain
I'll [G]take another name,
[A]Rid my mind of memories [D]and start
my life again.
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll [G]build a cabin small,
[A]then forget so I won't remember you at all.

[Outro 1]
[D][G][A][D][G]
[D]
