(3/4 Three-four time) [Intro] | D | G | D | G [Verse 1]
                              A
On the shore of the lake, the old man sat and watched a woman bathing

                      G
With its golden touch the light was such, that the moment was worth saving
[Chorus)
D                                        G
   And he sang the song of the lake, the song of the lake

    D                                                          G
And all the king's horses and all; oh never mind, never mind
[Verse 2]
                                                       A
And he knew that he would dissolve, if he followed her into the lake

                                                  G                            D
But also knew that if he remained upon the shore, he would in time evaporate
[Chorus]
                              G
He sang the song of the lake  -  the song of the lake

D                                G
   And all the king’s horses; oh never mind, never mind
[Verse 3]
    A                                                                     G
And knew that even though he had found heaven, such as described in the ancient scrolls

                                         D
Still he felt the drag of Hell, upon his old and mortal soul
[Chorus]
G
And he sang the song of the lake

    D                                                G
And all the king's horses; oh Lord never mind, never mind
[Verse 4]
               A
For every evil under the sun, if there be one seek it till you find

G                                                               D
   For there's either a remedy or there is none and if there is none
[Bridge]
                        G                            D               N.C.      D
Never mind, never mind  -  never mind, never mind, a'ah never mind.. (pause)
[Coda]
  G                                   D        G
O'oh never mind, never mind, oh mind  -  cause all the king’s horses and all the king's men

A                                             G                          D       G
   Couldn't put us back together again, oh my darling well where will we go?  Oh now

                               A                             G                           D
Oh my darling where do we go?  -  Ah never mind, never mind  -  And what do we do now?

G                          A                  G                      D
Oh never mind, never mind  -  You oh my sweet darling, never mind
