VERSE 1
F5                     C5
I'm just a man but I know that I'm damned
         D5                       C5                  
All the dead seem to know where I am
F5                    C5
Till it began on the night of my birth
         D5                   A5
Will be done in a turn of the earth

F5                       C5
Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
      D5                     C5
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
F5                 C5
Every eye on the coast ever more
      D5                        A5
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

(INTRO)

VERSE 2
Under the waves and the earth of an age
Lie a thousand old northerner's graves
Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
They come rising up into the light
Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
I'm the Lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it
All who sail off the coast ever more
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

C5                         D5          A5

C5                         D5          A5
I'm goin' away for a long time

VERSE 3
Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
Every eye on the coast ever more
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it
All who sail off the coast ever more
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore
