Tabbed by Joe (tabs at stype dot org)

Standard tuning or drop D
Capo II

D
I get into the car, drive away from the life
G
Suddenly certain she won't be my wife
D                                                     A
And the jewelry I give her remains in the bottom of a drawer

        D
In some room I won't enter with it's cold un-christened floor
        G
And the man she is leaving, he stands by the door
D                                            A
Weepin' at words "hey brother" she said them before

G                           Bm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
      D                          A
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
G                         Bm       A    G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
       D        A              D
diving into the great lakes of love

       D
It was foolish resistance I heard in the distance
    G
the drums of the band they were beating persistently
D                                        A
letting me know it's nothing but time to move on
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_smith/great_lakes_crd.html ]
             D               D7
Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up, top down
D
And I could watch silently, making no sound
         A                                        D
It would soften the blow, to leave without saying hello

     G                      Bm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
D                                     A
Love is nothing, love is everything, its never in-between
G                         Bm       A    G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
       D        A              D
diving into the great lakes of love

    Em                      Bm         D                 C               G                   
The wind it'll bend and the wind it'll bellow, straight, straight to the shore
    Em                    Bm           D
The lake is deception she waits in the shadows
D     C             G           D     C             G
swim, swim, out for more      I swim, swim, out for more

     G                      Bm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
      D                          A
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
G                         Bm       A    G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
       D        A              Bm     A   G
diving into the great lakes of love
        D        A              G      Em     D
falling into the great lakes of love
