There's a / spot far away you / all know well,
    / A                                   / E
A / place that's called the / Lookout Hill,
                   / A                               / D    -      A
Where the / rabbits hop and the / wildcats yell.
           / A                            / E     -     A
How I / love that place no / one can tell.

There are / trout streams there and / moose and deer,
              / A                               / E
But you / never lay eyes on a / grizzly  bear,
      / A                               / D    -     A
So / take your pack up - / on your back, and
A                                   / E      -     A
Head your way up the / Lookout Track.

Intro: One Verse Instrumental

             / A                         / D  -  A
There'll / be a time when / I am old, and
      / A                               / E
My / poor old bones are / stiff and cold,
    / A                                               / D    -    A
I'll / head to the Lookout with the / setting sun,
             / A                                        / E    -   A
When I / smell those spruce trees / I'll feel young.

                 / A                                        / D     -          A
When the / lakes are frozen and the / brooks are high, and
        / A                             / E
You / hear the owl in the / moonlight cry,
    / A                                        / D    -   A
I'll / head to the Lookout with / spirits high,
             / A                              / E      -    A
Good - / bye my friends, it's / there I'll die.
