Asus2 Em
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down
G D Asus2
Of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee"
Em
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
G D Asus2
When the skies of November turn gloomy
Em
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
G D Asus2
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
Em
That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
G D Asus2
When the "Gales of November" came early.
Em
The ship was the pride of the American side
G D Asus2
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
Em
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
G D Asus2
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Em
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
G D Asus2
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
Em
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
G D Asus2
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
Em
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
G D Asus2
And a wave broke over the railing
Em
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
G D Asus2
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.
