Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Tony Rice (Gordon Lightfoot cover) Chords

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now the legend [C] lives on from the [Ab] chippewa down of the big [Eb] lake they call [Bb] Gitche Gumee
The lake it is [C] said never gives up the [Ab] dead when [Eb] the skies of November [Bb] turn gloomy
With a load of iron [C] ore 26 [Ab],000 tons more than [Eb] the Edmund Fitzgerald [Bb] weighed empty _
That good shipman true [C] was a bone to be [Eb] chewed when the gales of [Bb] November came early
_ _ The ship was the pride of the American [Ab] side coming back [Eb] from the mill [Bb] in Wisconsin
As the big freighters [C] go it was bigger than [Eb] most with the crew and good captain [Bb] well seasoned
Concluding some [Ab] terms with a couple of steel firms when [Eb] they left fully loaded [Bb] for Cleveland
And _ [Ab] later that night when the ship's bell rang could it [Eb] be the [Bb] north wind they'd been feeling?
_ [Bbm] [C] The _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ wind in the [Ab] wires made a tattletale sound and [Eb] a wave broke over [Bb] the railing
And every [C] man knew as the captain did too towards the [Eb] witch of [Bb] November comes stealing
The dawn [Eb] came late and the breakfast had to wait when the gales of November [Bb] come slashing _
_ When afternoon [Ebm] came [Ab] it was freezing rain in the [Eb] face of a [Bb] hurricane west wind
_ When supper time [C] came the old cook come on deck [Eb] saying fellas it's too rough [Bb] to feed ya
At _ 7 p [Ab].m. a main hatchway caved [Eb] in he said fellas it's [Bb] been good to know ya
The captain wired in he had water [Ab] coming in and the good [Eb] shipman crew [Bb] was in peril
And later that [C] night when the lights went [Ab] out of sight came the wreck of [Eb] the Edmund [Bb] Fitzgerald

_ Does anyone [Eb] know where the love of God goes [Ab] when the waves [Eb] turn the minutes [Bb] to hours?
_ [C] The searchers all say they'd have made whitefish [Ab] bae if they'd [Eb] put 15 more miles [Bb] behind her
They might have [Ab] split up or they might have capsized they might [Eb] have broke [Bb] deep and took water
And _ all that [C] remains is the faces and the names [Ab] of the wives [Eb] and the sons [Bb] and the daughters
[Bbm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ Lake Heron [Eb] Row, Superior sings [Ab] in the rooms [Eb] of her ice [Bb] water mansion _
Old Michigan [Eb] seems like a young man's dreams the islands and bays are [Bb] for sportsmen
_ _ Farther below [Eb] Lake [Ab] Ontario takes [Eb] in what Lake [Bb] Erie can send her
_ _ And the iron [Ab] boats go as the mariners [Eb] all know with the gales of November [Bbm] remember _ _

In a [Eb] musty old hall in Detroit they prayed in the Maritime [Bb] Sailors Cathedral
The church bell [Ab] chimed it rang 29 times for each man [Eb] on the Edmund [Bb] Fitzgerald
The _ legend lives [Ab] on from the Chippewa on down of [Eb] the big lake they call Gitche [Bb] Gumee _
Superior [Ab] they said never gives up the dead when the [Eb] skies of [Bb] November come early
