Round the banks of Lake Louise   
C         F               C                      G             C 
Oh how my lonely heart is achin tonight for that girl I left behind   
                F               C 
And oh what I'd give if I could be there tonight  
         D7                           G 
With the sweetheart who's waiting for me

Round the banks of Lake Louise

And the one I love to see
