F C Dm Am

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

F                       C
Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
      Dm                     C
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
F                 C
Every eye on the coast ever more
      Dm                        Am
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

BRIDGE

C Dm Am (x2)

C                         Dm          Am
I'm goin' away for a long time
C                         Dm          Am
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
