[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Go and gather up [G]your things
[D]For [G]the[F] long rid[Am]e don't ask me[C]
"Where are we go[G]ing?"
[Gsus4]It'll tak[F]e time[C][Am]
[C]And[F] the flowers, oh
The [Cm]flowers [C]will be bur
[G]ied under [C]snow[Am]
When [D]the cold winds blow
But the [F]lake changes quicker
[C]than you know
[Am][D]

[Verse 2]
At the [C]seaside[Cm]
Wading in [G]the low [D]tide in the [Am]shallows
In the [C]wintertime
[Cm]Stars in the [G]western [D]sky
flick[Am]er and fade out
But [F]the water, oh, the wa[Eb]ter is [Em]shaking
At [Am]the breeze from the [D]high seas
And the [F]lake changes [Eb]are
bitter to my knees
[Am][D]

[Verse 3]
Then [G]I'll wade down i'm
weighed [Gsus4]down
[Gm]With famil[Bb]y photographs
and [Dm]relics I've found
In a [G]back room i'll be [Gsus4]back soon
[Gm]I won't si[Bb]nk, I'll swim i'[Dm]ll be back soo[G]n

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
You and I
[Cm]Let's [Gsus4]build a bon[G]fire[D]
in [Am]the sand dunes
[C]And sit a while cheek- to- [G]cheek
And [D]I'll be humming [Am]your favorite tune
It's [C]not the [F]leaving that's [Eb]grieving me
It's the [Em]thought of you [Am]alone
Making [D]my heart moan
And when the [F]lake changes,
[Eb]down the [Cm]road [Am]I go
[D]

[Verse 5]
Then I'll [G]wade down i'm
[F]weighed down
[Gm]With famil[Bb]y photographs
and [Dm]relics I've found
In a [G]back room i'll be [Gsus4]back soon
[F]I w[Gm]on't s[Bb]ink,
I'll [Dm]swim i'll be back soon

[Verse 6]
Then I'll [G]wade down i'm
[Gsus4]weighed down
[Gm]With famil[Bb]y photographs
and [Dm]relics I've found
[C]In a [G]back room i'll be [Gsus4]back soon[Gm]
I won't [Bb]sink, I'll swim i'll [Dm]be back soon

[Verse 7]
I'll be back [G]soon[C]
[Eb]Go and gather up your th[G]ings
For [D]the [Am]long ride
