[Intro] F  C  Dm  C
        F  C  Dm  Am

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
We'll 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
F                C
Every eye on the coast ever more
     Dm                        Am
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore 

( F  C  Dm  C )
( F  C  Dm  Am )

F                       C
Under the waves and the earth of an age
      Dm                       C
Lie a thousand old northerners graves
F                          C
Deep in the night when the Moon's glowing bright
          Dm                 Am
They come rising up into the night

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

( C  Am  C  Am )

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

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
F                C
Every eye on the coast ever more
     Dm                        Am
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore
F                    C
Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
        Dm                           C
I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave
F                    C
All who sail off the coast ever more
     Dm                       Am
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore
C                             Am
I'm goin' away for a long time
