Capo 2
[Verse 1]
A Em
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
G D A
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Em
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
G D A
When the skies of November turn gloomy
Em
With a load of iron ore 26 thousand tons more
G D A
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
Em
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
G D A
When the gales of November came early
[Verse 2]
A Em
The ship was the pride of the American side
G D A
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
Em
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
G D A
With the crew and good captain well seasoned
Em
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
G D A
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
A
Then later that night when the ship's bell rang
G*
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'
[Solo]
A Em G D A
Ooooh
[Verse 3]
A Em
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
G D A
And a wave broke over the railin'
Em
And every man knew, as the captain did too
G D A
'Twas the witch of November come stealin'
Em
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
G D A
When the gales of November came slashin'
Em
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
G D A
In the face of a hurricane west wind
[Solo]
A Em G D A
Ooooh
