The Handsome Family – Shady Lake (Guitar)

C                C/E   Em Em/B
At the shore of Shady Lake

           Am  Am/E       F   F/C
Where the wind comes to sleep

        C     C/E        Em Em/B
Trout glide beneath the lilypads

         Am   Am/E   F   F/C
And the tall orange reeds

         C          C/E        Em        Em/B
Now the horned owls call up through red leaves

     Am         Am/E  F   F7       F6   F
Who, who comes rising up from the deep?

     Am   Am/E        F      F/C
Two swans with their feathers

Am Am/E       F   F/C
Whiter than snow

           Dm  Dm/A   F    F/C
Tie their necks in a love-knot

    C C/E        G
As gently they float

C                C/E   Em Em/B
Hear the soft whispers blow

         Am   Am/E     F   F/C
In the sweet water's flow

C    C/E      Em Em/B Am Am/E      F   F/C
Who, who comes rising up from the cold?

          C   C/E     Em Em/B
See the blue turtles slip

           Am   Am/E    F   F/C
From the green, mossy shore

C      C/E            Em    Em/B
Down, down they are gliding

Am Am/E    F   F/C
Down they soar

         C      C/E   Em          Em/B
See the yellow snake coil in the leaves

     Am        Am/E        F 7     F6   F
Who, who comes rising? Who do you see?
