Chords with lyrics

Verse:
G minorGm                C minorCm
North of shelby town there's a lake uncharted
G minorGm                C minorCm
And from an anchor town comes a boy whole hearted
Bb majorBb    D MajorD       Eb MajorEb
All his preparation so exhausting
G minorGm    FF         C majorC
Built endurance makes him right for the crossing
G minorGm                C minorCm
And not in winter time cause the lake's all frozen
G minorGm                C minorCm
June is opportune so the date is chosen
Bb majorBb    D MajorD       Eb MajorEb
Take the tripod to raft for short filming
G minorGm    FF         C majorC
It's only small town news but to us he's famous
G minorGm    FF        D MajorD      C majorC
His declaration makes everyone think he's the greatest
AbAb    C minorCm   Eb MajorEb   FF
All the way in record time
D MajorD                      C majorC
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
AbAb    C minorCm   Eb MajorEb   FF
Follow the wake through record time
D MajorD                      C majorC
All the while the camera's collecting the take...
C majorC
All collecting the take.
G minorGm                C minorCm
It's only us except for a lone man fishing
G minorGm                C minorCm
Find a shady spot to lay out the provisions
Bb majorBb    D MajorD       Eb MajorEb
Puts his goggles on for underwater vision
G minorGm    FF         C majorC
As he breaks the glass into water with diver's precision
G minorGm    FF        D MajorD      C majorC
He's one ambitious boy, an olympic tradition
AbAb    C minorCm   Eb MajorEb   FF
All the way in record time
D MajorD                      C majorC
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
AbAb    C minorCm   Eb MajorEb   FF
Follow the wake in record time
D MajorD                     C majorC
All the while the camera's collecting the take
AbAb    C minorCm   Eb MajorEb   FF
All the way in record time
D MajorD                      C majorC
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
AbAb    C minorCm   Eb MajorEb   FF
Follow the wake in record time
D MajorD                      C majorC
All the while the camera's collecting the take...

Outro:
FF   D MajorD      G minorGm
Ah, collecting the take
FF   D MajorD      G minorGm
All our eyes were glued to him.
