John Smith - Great Lakes chords
Start Jamming...
I get into the car, drive away from the life
[A] Suddenly certain she won't [F#] be my [E] wife
And the jewelry I give her remains in the bottom [B] of the drawer
So [A] I go [F#] to the water, [C#m] it is time that I meet
Oh, [E] my heart [B] wears a fancy dress, first at the scene
[A] All that hurt mattered, [C#m] and all [F#] that I've seen
[E] Diving in [B] the great [E] lakes of love
It was foolish resistance till I heard in the distance
[A] The drums of the band, they were beating
[F#] persistently
[E] Letting me know it's nothing, [C#] time to [B] move on
[C#m]
Perhaps [E] I'll see her around
Hair up, top down, I could watch silently
Making no sound, it [B] would soften the bone
To leave without saying [E] hello
So [A] I go to the water, [C#m] it is time that I meet
Love [E] is nothing, love is everything, [B] it's never in between
[A] All that hurt mattered, [C#m] and all that [A] I've seen
[E] Diving into [B] the great [E] lakes of love
[C#m] [F#m] The yellow will bend [C#m] and the wind it [E] will bellow
Straight, [D] straight [A] to the shore
[F#] The lake is deception, she [C#m] waits [E] in the [E] shadows
Swim,
[Bm] swim out [A] for more
[C#m] Swim,
[B] swim [E] out for more
So I [A] go to the [B] water, it is [C#m] time that I meet
Oh, my [E]
heart wears a fancy dress, [B]
first at the scene
[A]
All that hurt [G#m] mattered, and [C#m] all that I've seen
[E]
Diving into [B] the great lakes of love
[A]
[E] Falling into [B] the great lakes [A] of love
[F#m]
