[ Предположительная тональность: G ] The Rawdon Hills - Words & Music by Stan Rogers ---------------- A Gadd9 D7/F# Gadd9 Worn down shacks of labour past, on a hill of broken stone D/F# Em G A7 Once brought by men to the stamping mills to crush away the gold A7/G Gadd9 D/F# E7M9 But before it could pass to their sons, the glory left the hole G A7 G D/F# The Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold The grandsons of the mining men scratch the fields among the trees When the gold played out, they were all turned out with granite dusted knees But at night around the stoves, sometimes the stories still unfold How the Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold Bridge: F7M9 Em D/F# Grandsons of the mining men, you'll see it in your dreams F7M9 Em D D/C Beneath your father's bones still lies the undiscovered seam D Of Quartzite, in a serpentine vein that marks the greatest yield G G And along the Midland railway, it's still told G A7 G D How the Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold Eighty years has been and gone since there was color in the hole And the careworn shades of the hard-rock men surround the old Cope lode And through the tiny hillside farms, the miner's tales grow old The Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold The Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold Notes: Gadd9: 300203 D7/F#: 200212 D/F#: 200232 A7/G: 302020 E7M9 : 024100 F7M9 : 122010 D/C: x30232 (The Rawdon Hills are an area of Nova Scotia, kind of northwest of Halifax. Rumour has it that a long time ago, the Nova Scotia government circulated false reports that there was a big gold discovery there, as a plan to get more people to settle in that area.) -- Chris Butler aka cbutler@bnr.ca -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
