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
               D
 mind.. (pause)

[Coda]
  G
O'oh never mind,
 never
 mind, oh mind
  D        G
  -  cause all
 the king’s horses
and all the king's
 men
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
do we
     A
go?  -  Ah never mind,
            G
never mind  -  And
what
              D
do we do now?
G
Oh never mind,
 never mind
 A
 -  You oh my
       G
 sweet darling,
           D
never mind
