Capo II *
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
G D A
Of the big lake they called gitche gumee
A Em
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
G D A
When the skies of November turn gloomy
A Em
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
G D A
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
A Em
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
G D A
When the gales of November came early.
A Em
The ship was the pride of the American side
G D A
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
A Em
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
G D A
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
A Em
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
G D A
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
A Em
And later that night when the ships bell rang
G D A
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin?
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
G D A
And a wave broke over the railing
A Em
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
G D A
Twas the witch of November come stealin.
A Em
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
G D A
When the gales of November came slashing.
A Em
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
G D A
In the face of a hurricane west wind.
