Lake Louise

Lyrics and Chords

INTRO ; A   F….
C    Cmaj7                F

We stood watching all the skaters skating

C    Cmaj7                    F

On the shores of Lake Louise

C    Cmaj7                     F                                                      G                       F

I took my knife and I carved our names on a eucalyptus tree

C    Cmaj7                F

You were bonny as a musk rose

C    Cmaj7                F

In my eyes like the sea

c               F

Always on the cusp of a promise

G                       F

You made me feel so free

Amin             F                                C             Cmaj7                                   F

I used to dream that I was falling through the clouds with you

Amin             F    Fadd9

I used to dream..

C    Cmaj7                            F

September skies reflecting in your eyes

C    Cmaj7                    F

On the banks of Lake Louise

C    Cmaj7                    F

Your hair black as a carrion crow

G                       F

In your Prussian blue chemise

C    Cmaj7                    F

I kept praying, if you ever found a thing worth hating..

C    Cmaj7        F         C    Cmaj7                    F

What did I see, sublimation, premonition..

G                       F

Stream of memory?

Amin             F                                C             Cmaj7                                   F

I used to dream that I was falling through the clouds with you

Amin             F    Fadd9

I used to dream..

Oh-oh

C    Cmaj7                    F

I can still feel it sting

C    Cmaj7                     F                                                      G                       F

Then you threw our wedding ring into Lake Louise

Amin             F                                C             Cmaj7                                   F

Lyrics

We stood watching all the skaters skating
On the shores of Lake Louise
I took my knife and I carved our names on a eucalyptus tree
You were bonny as a musk rose
In my eyes like the sea
Always on the cusp of a promise
You made me feel so free

I used to dream that I was falling through the clouds with you
I used to dream..

September skies reflecting in your eyes
On the banks of Lake Louise
Your hair black as a carrion crow
In your Prussian blue chemise
I kept praying, if you ever found a thing worth hating..
What did I see, sublimation, premonition..
Stream of memory?

I used to dream that I was falling through the clouds with you
I used to dream..

Dream
Dream
Dream

You smiled, then you swung and hit me
Oh-oh
I can still feel it sting
Then you threw our wedding ring into Lake Louise

I used to dream that I was falling through the clouds with you
I used to dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
