Gordon Lightfoot - Couchiching
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] Am  
[VERSE 1:]
There's a town they call Orillia, it is there of which I sing
It is just above Lake Simcoe, by Lake Couchiching
[CHORUS:]
Couchiching, Couchiching, E7by Lake CouchiAmching
CoFuchiching, Gby Lake CouchiAmching
FCouchiching, AmCouchiching, Eby Lake CouchiF6ching
GCouchiAmching
[VERSE 2:]
Across the raging Narrows, Casino Rama stands
Where there once were only sparrows, people come from other lands
To the west lie hills aplenty, if skiing is your thing
You can while away the summer, by Lake Couchiching
[CHORUS:]
Couchiching, Couchiching, E7by Lake CouchiAmching
CoFuchiching, Gby Lake CouchiAmching
FCouchiching, AmCouchiching, Eby Lake CouchiF6ching
GCouchiAmching
[VERSE 3:]
In Orillia they had movies and sports and music too
And all around the shoreline were the folks that we all knew
[CHORUS:]
Couchiching, Couchiching, E7by Lake CouchiAmching
CoFuchiching, Gby Lake CouchiAmching
FCouchiching, AmCouchiching, Eby Lake CouchiF6ching
GCouchiAmching
[VERSE 4:]
Now I've spent my life in travel, now I've spent my life in dust
Now I've spent my life in family, now I've spent my life in trust
Any way you'd like to cut it, it'll hit you with a ping
When you think about Orillia, it's by Lake Couchiching
[CHORUS:]
Couchiching, Couchiching, E7by Lake CouchiAmching
CoFuchiching, Gby Lake CouchiAmching
FCouchiching, AmCouchiching, Eby Lake CouchiF6ching
GCouchiAmching
[VERSE 5:]
When I get my final slumber, when I pawn my diamond ring
I will do my final number, by Lake Couchiching
[CHORUS:]
Couchiching, Couchiching, E7by Lake CouchiAmching
CoFuchiching, Gby Lake CouchiAmching
FCouchiching, AmCouchiching, Eby Lake CouchiF6ching
GCouchiAmching
