    If I stay all night and talk
    Em/G
    If I stay all night and talk
    Am

  • 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

   And all the
 king’s horses; oh

[Verse 3]
    A         
And knew that even 
though he had
 found heaven,
 such as described

in the ancient 
scrolls
Still he felt the 
drag of
 Hell, upon his 
D
old and mortal soul


[Chorus]

And all the king\'s

               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
