Chords with lyrics
D
There's a lake up in the Northwoods
G
of Wisconsin
Bm
I've heard stories of adventures up
Am
there
Bm Am
And there's a family that never
G
quite stops talking
Bm
Who spends their summers in a
Am D
house that they all share
Bm
And it smells like campfire
Am G
mixed up with sunscreen
Bm
And it sounds like the best time
Am
you've ever had
Bm
They say those trees are the
Am G
prettiest ones you'll ever see
Bm
They say when you're up there
Am D
you'll never be sad
D
By that lake up in the Northwoods
G
of Wisconsin
Bm
The kids grew up with their
Am
toes in that sand
Bm Am
They'd play card games and study
G
some Latin
Bm Am
They'd sing along to musicals
D
hand in hand
Bm Am
And no one noticed how much time
G
was passing
Bm
Because when you're up there
Am
they say time stands still
Bm
I guess it's true the world
Am G
can't give you much harassing
Bm
When you're nestled in that
Am D
house up on that hill
D
Here's the truth about that lake
G
up in Wisconsin
Bm
It's had to let a lot of people
Am
move on
Bm
And while it's not the same
Am G
I'm sure they're still listening
Bm Am
When we share memories of those
D
who have gone
Bm Am
Yeah, they scolded us for not
G
wearing sunscreen
Bm
But it's still the best time
Am
we've ever had
Bm
And those trees are still the
Am G
prettiest ones I've ever seen
Bm
It's still the greatest place
Am D
even when you're sad
D
It's just a 🏷Legendary lake up in
G
Wisconsin
Bm
So no matter how far we all
Am
roam
Bm Am
It's a place I know will never
G
be forgotten
Bm Am
Cuz it's a place we all always
D
call home
