Fairmount Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Last[D] nig[Am]ht as I lay dreaming[G]
of pleasant days gone [Am]by
My mind was bent on
rambling to Bo[C]ston I [G]did fly
I [Am]stepped on board a vision and
I [C]followed with [G]the wind
When [Am]next I came to [G]anchor at
the rocks on Fairmount [Am]Hill

[Verse 2]
It was [Am]on the 23[G]rd of June
the day before [Am]the fair
When Boston's sons and daughters
and [C]friends as[G]sembled [C]the[G]re
The [Am]young, the old, the brave,
and the bold
Came [Em]their [C]duty to ful[G]fill[D]
[G]At [Am]the parish church on [G]Thatcher,
a mile from Fairmount [Am]Hill[Em]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[Em]I went [Am]to see old frie[G]nds there,
to see what they might [Am]say
The old ones were all dead and gone,
[C]the young ones turning [G]gray
I [Am]met the broker Hughes,
he's as [C]odd as ever [G]still
See [D]I u[Am]sed to crash at his m[G]other's house,
when I hung on Fairmount [Am]Hill

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][Em][Am][C][G][Am][C]
[G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
I [Am]paid a flying [G]visit to my first
and only [Am]love
She's as white as any lily,
and as [C]gentle as a [G]dove
She [Am]threw her arm around me saying,
[C]"Andy I love [G]you still"
Oh, she's [Am]one miss B[G]azo Bailey,
the pride of Fairmount [Am]Hill

[Verse 5]
[Am]I dreamt I'd fought a [G]violent war for
the hand of this darling [Am]gal
Against an angry jealous foe
by [C]the name of Danny [G]Gill
The [Am]clock it rang in the morning,
it [C]rang both loud [G]and shrill
When I [Am]awoke in Cali[G]fornia,
many miles from [Am]Fair[G]mount Hill
[Am]
