Chords for Red Iron Ore/Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Come all you boat fellows [Eb] that follow the [Bb] lakes
[Fm] On an iron [Bb] ore vessel [C] you're living to make
I shipped in Chicago [Eb] bid adieu [Bb] to the shore
Bound for Escanaba and [Fm] the red [Bbm] iron _ ore
[C] Derry down, _ [Gm] down, down, [C] derry _ down
In the month of September [Eb] the [Bb] 17th day
[Ab] Two [Bb] dollars and a quarter was [C] all they would pay
On a Monday morning [Eb] from the North Branch
[Bb] Did take the screasy Roberts _ [Ab] out into [Bb] the lake
[Cm] Derry down, _ [Gm] down, down, [C] derry down
Now the wind from the [Gm] southward blew a fresh [Bb] _ [Ab] breeze
And down through [Gm] Lake Michigan the [C] Roberts did sneeze
Down through Lake Michigan [Eb] the Roberts [Bb] did roar
And on Wednesday morning [Ab] we sailed through [Bb] death's door
_ [C]
Derry down, _ down, [Gm] down, [C] derry down
This packet then crossed [Eb] the mouth of Green [Gm] Bay
[Fm] And from her [Gm] cut water [C] she dashed the white spray
We rounded Sand Point, [Eb] the [Bb] anchor let go
Folded up all the canvas [Fm] and then went [Bb] _ below
[C] Derry down, _ down, [Gm] down, [C] derry down
Next morning we hauled [Gm] alongside [Bb] the exile
[Ab] And then was [F] made fast [C] to an iron ore pile
They lowered their chutes and [Eb] like thunder [Bb] did roar
They spouted into us [Ab] the red [F] iron ore
[C] Derry down, down, [Gm] down, [C] derry down
_ _ _ Some sailors took [Eb] shovels while others [Bb] took spades
[Ab] Some [Gm] took the sluice and [C] each man to his trade
We looked like red devils, [Eb] our backs they got [Bb] sore
And we cursed Escanaba [Fm] and the red [F] iron ore
[C] Derry down, _ _ [Gm] down, down, [C] derry _ down _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now the tug Escanaba [Gm] she towed out the niche
[Ab] And it was there they [Gm] thought [C] they'd left us in a pinch
Oh they gave us three cheers [Gm] as they passed [Bb] by
Saying see you in Cleveland _ [Ab] next Fourth of [F] July
Derry [C] down, _ down, down, derry down
But through Luce Island Passage [Eb] it blew a [Gm] fresh breeze
We [Ab] made the foxes, [Gm] the beavers, [C] the skilly glee
We passed by the minch [Cm] for to show [Bb] her the way
And she ne'er hove in sight [Ab] till we're off Thunder [F] Bay _
[C] Derry down, down, [Gm] down, [C] derry down
Across _ Saginaw Bay [Eb] then the Roberts did [Bb] ride
[Fm] With dark and deep [F] water [C] rolling over her side
And straight for the river [Eb] the Roberts did [Bb] go
Where the tug Kate Williams [Fm] took us [F] in tow
[C] Derry down, down, [Gm]
down, derry [C] _ down
All through North Passage, [Gm] oh Lord how it blew
[Fm] And all round the [Gm] dummy a large [C] fleet hoped [N] to _
