Deep forbidden lake
1. On the lake, the
deep forbidden lake, the old boats go gliding by,
G
D
and the leaves are falling from the trees
and landing on the logs and I
D7 G - Gm
see the turtles heading for the bog and
falling off the log.
D A
They make the water splash, and feeling no
backlash,
D
they climb the happy banks.
2. On the boats, the
old and creaky boats, the shoreline goes gliding by.
G D
And the wind, there was a dying breeze, is
making the banners fly.
D7 G - Gm
See the colors, floating in the sky, the
pride of the captain's eye,
D A D
as he glides his slender craft inside and
opens up the door.
3. On the coast, the
long and tempting coast, the cards on the table lie,
G
D
and a speech, so eloquent in reach, was
made by a passerby,
D7 G - Gm
passing by the way between here and left
behind.
D
A
And it ripples through the crowds who run
and cast their doubts
D - D - D7 - G - Gm
in the deep forbidden lake.
D
A
Yes, it echoes through the crowds who run
and cast their doubts
D
in the deep forbidden lake.
