Too wide for your wits and [D] too long lies my lake,
And its [Am] waters are cold, they [D] are deep and opaque,
And the [Am] bottom is fractured with [F] fissures,
[G] And ragged [C] with rock, [G] rock, [Am] rock, where you'll never catch me.
[D] [Am]
So if you should spy me [D] it will be by mistake,
But [Am] mostly you'll glimpse just the ghost of my wake,
[Am] Or the flash of a fin that means [F] not, but [G] serves only [C] to mock,
[G]
Mock, [A] mock, that you'll [Am] never catch me.

So don't pester poor folk with [D] those pictures you take,
For [A] they'll say I'm a log [D] or a bird or a snake,

[G] Dock, [Am] dock, for you'll never catch me.

And the night when you [F] sit around the fires [C] and talk,
[G]
Talk, [Am] talk, talk, will never catch me.
