Intro (x2): D Gbm Em Bm Bm Verse 1: D Gbm Em Bm Bm Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? D Gbm Em I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones Bm Bm These hunters with cell phones Chorus: Gbm G Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Gbm G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse Verse 2: D Gbm Em What should be over burrowed under my skin Bm Bm In heart-stopping waves of hurt D Gbm Em I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Bm Bm Tell me what are my words worth Chorus: Gbm G Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Gbm G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse Bridge: D Gbm I want auroras and sad prose Em Bm D I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet Gbm Em Because I haven't moved in years Bm And I want you right here D Gbm Em A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground Bm With no one around to tweet it D Gbm While I bathe in cliffside pools Em Bm With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief Chorus: Gbm G Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Gbm G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse D No, not without you This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play The Lakes on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 90 bpm. You are playing it in D major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Sway a gentle syncopated 4/4 and let the strings carry the weight
