[F] [N] Thank you very much.
[B] The wreck of the Edmund Hitchcock.
The [Bm] [E]
[B] [E] [B]
legend lands [F#m] on from the [A] trip on down
Of the [E] big lake big [B] old ditch ago may
The lake it is [F#m] said never gets up again
[A] When the [E] skies are froth and [B] birch and plumy
With a load [F#m] of iron ore 26,000 [A] tons more
Than the Edmund [E] [B] Fitzgerald weighed empty
That big ship in true [F#m] was a bond [A] you betured
[E] When the gales of November [B] came hurling
The ship [F#m] was the pride of the American [A] side
[E] Coming back from some mill [B] in Wisconsin
As the big [F#m] freighters go it was bigger [A] than most
[E] To the grown [B] good captain well seasoned
Concluding [F#m] some time with a couple of [A] stupends
[E] When they left fully [B] loaded for Cleveland
Then later [F#m] that night when the ship's bell [A] rang
[E] Could it be the [B] north wind they'd been feeling
The [E]
[B] wind and [F#m] the wires made a tattle [A]-tale sound
[E] And a whip broke over [B] the raven
And every [F#m] man knew as the captain [A] did
[E] As the witch of November [B] comes stealing
The dawn came late [F#m] and the breakfast hit
The wind [A] from the gales [E] of November [B] came slashing
That afternoon it [F#m] was freezing [A] rain
[E] In the face [B] of a hurricane's west wind
[E] [B]
[E] [B]
When supper [F#m] time came the old cook came [A] on deck
Saying [E] fellas [B] it's clear up the field
At seven [F#m] p.m. the main hatch we [E] gave in
He said fellas [B] it's been good [B] to know you
Well the captain went [F#m] in he had water coming [A] in
And [E] the big ship and [B] crew was in peril
And later that [Am] night when his [F#m] lights went out of sight
He came [E] to the wreck of the [B] earth and lifted staffers
And [F#m]
[E] [B] [E] [F#m] [E]
[B]
does anyone [F#m] know where the love of [A] God goes
[E] When the waves [B] turn the moors to our roads
The searchers [F#m] all say they'd have made quite [A] fishy
If [E] they'd put [B] fifty more miles behind her
They might have [F#m] split up or they might have [A] capsized
[E] In the appropriate amount [B] of water
And all that [F#] remains [F#m] is the faces and [A] the knees
[E] Of the wives and [B] the sons and the wives
Like
[E] [B] [E] [A] [E]
[B] here [F#] on those [F#m] superior [A] scenes
[E] In the ruins of [B] our old squatter mansion
[B] Old Michigan [F#m] seems like a young [A] man's dreams
[E] The islands [B] and days of her sportsman
And further [F#m] below Lake Ontario
[E] Lakes in what [B] may be Reagan's center
And the iron [F#m] boats go as the barons [A] all do
[E] With the gales of [B] November remember
[E] [B] [E]
[B]
[E] [B] [E]
[B]
And a [F#m] steelhold in Detroit [A] they've freed
[E] And the maritime sailors [B] get their
The church [F#m] bell chimes at the very twenty [A] nine times
For [E] each man [B] on the island of Fitzgerald
The legend [F#m] and song from the temple [A] wall
Of [E] the big, big, [B] big Morgan Sugar Bay
Superior [F#m] they say never gives up
[A] With the [E] gales of [B] November gone again
Thank [E] [B]
[E] [B]
[E] [B]
[E] [B]
[E] you very kindly, we'll be
