CHORDS: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Song Of The Lake Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
D  G  D G

[Verse 1
On the shore of the
 lake, the
 A
 old man sat and
 watched a woman 
bathing
With its golden 
      G
touch the 
light was such, 
that the moment 
was
 worth saving

[Chorus)
D         
   And he sang the 
song of the lake, 
    G
the song of the lake
    D             
And all the king\'s 
horses 
and all; oh never
 mind, 
           G
never mind


[Verse 2]
And he knew that he 
would dissolve, 
if he followed 
    A
her into the lake
But also knew that
 if he 
remained upon the
 shore, 
G                
he would in time 
          D
evaporate

[Chorus]
He sang the song 
of 
          G
the lake  -  
the song of the l
ake
D       
   And all the
 king’s horses; oh 
G
never mind, never 
mind


[Verse 3]
    A         
And knew that even 
though he had
 found heaven,
 such as described 
         G
in the ancient 
scrolls
Still he felt the 
drag of
 Hell, upon his 
D
old and mortal soul


[Chorus]
G
And he sang the 
song 
of the lake
    D   
And all the king\'s
 horses; oh 
Lord never mind, 
      G
never mind


[Verse 4]
               A
For every evil under
 the sun, 
if there be one 
seek it till you 
G             
   For there\'s either
 a remedy or 
there is none and 
            D
if there is none


[Bridge]
Never mind, never 
      G         
mind  - 
 never mind, never 
        D  
mind, a\'ah never

 mind.. (pause)

 the king’s horses 
and all the king\'s

A   
   Couldn\'t put us 
back 
together again, oh 
my 
G                  
darling well where 
        D       G
will we go?  Oh now
Oh my darling where

     A   
go?  -  Ah never mind, 
            G

what

do we do now?
