Lake of Men - Words and Music by Keith Sutcliffe
------------------------------------------------
Capo 2nd fret


CHORUS
Em                               G
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
Em                               G
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
Bm
sun shinning bright and the blue sky again
          Em                               G
an' we're paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
Em
paddling hard...


Em
sail down the lake to the dam at the end
Em
going up the river see the beaver at the bend
G
lush green banks with the forest closing in
Em
pull up by the rock and let it all start again


CHORUS
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
sun shinning bright and the blue sky again
an' we're paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard...


mist on the water you can feel it in the air
golden rays falling as dusk draws in near 
blue then fades out as black skies appear
northern lights dance with the stars over there


CHORUS
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
still is the night and the crickets call again
an' we're paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard...


SHORT SOLO (4X on Em G)


still is the air, and a surface made of glass
feel tension rise as the black clouds amass
bright flash of light like bombs in the night
scream of the wind and a crash outta sight


paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
clouds in the sky and the rain fall again
an' we're paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard...


BRIDGE
Bm  A  G  F#  Em  x3
Bm  A  G


OUTRO
A                 C           G
down to the river over by the bend
A                         C                G
out on the trail past the hill through the glen
a packs howl attacks as the heat settles in
race of my heart at the battle cry again

paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
crashing of the waves as the wind blows again
an' we're paddling hard 


Em
paddling hard 'cross the lake of men
