[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

[Verse 2]
F                       C
Under the waves and the earth of an age
      Dm                        C
Lie a thousand old northerner's graves
F                          C
Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
          Dm                 Am
They come rising up into the light
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 it
F                      C
  All who sail off the coast ever more
      Dm                      Am
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore
