The Crystal Lake Tab

by Grandaddy


The Crystal Lake By Grandaddy tabbed for acoustic or electric


I've loved the song for so long I had to give the tab a shot,
The outro is my favourite part when you can really rock out. \o/ 

Peace and Be Wild, Yosh :)

Should never have left the crystal lake

Should never have left the crystal lake
For parties full of folks who flake
Italian leather winter games
Retired by the duraflames

The crystal lake it only laughs
It knows you're just a modern man
It's shining like the chandelier
Shining somewhere far away from here

I've gotta get outta here
I've gotta get outta here
I've gotta get outta here
I've gotta get outta here...

And find my way again
I've lost my way again

Should never have left the crystal lake

Should never have left the crystal lake
For areas where trees are fake
And dogs are dead with broken hearts
Collapsing by the coffee carts

The crystal lake it only laughs
It knows you're just a modern man
It's shining like the chandelier
Shining somewhere far away from here

I've gotta get outta here
I've gotta get outta here
I've gotta get outta here
I've gotta get outta here...

And find my way again
I've lost my way again
