  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#           Ema9

  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:

  Fma9             Em                 D/F#   

  Grandsons of the mining men, you'll see it in your dreams

  Fma9                  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

  (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.)
