E G
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
D E
to the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
E G
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
D E
When the skies of November turn gloomy
E G
With a load of iron ore -26,ooo tons more
D E
than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
E G
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
D E
When the gales of November came early
E G
The ship was the pride of the American side
D E
coming back from some mill in Wisconson
E G
As the big freighters go it was bigger than most.
D E
With a crew and the captain well seasoned.
E G
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
D E
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland,
E G
and later that night when the ships bell rang,
D E
could it be the North wind they'd been feeling.
E G
The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound
D E
and a wave broke over the railing.
E G
Every man knew, as the captain did, too,
D E
T'was the witch of November came stealing.
E G
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
D E
when the gales of November came slashing.
E G
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
D E
in the face if a hurricane west wind.
E G
When supper time came the old cook came on deck,
D E
Saying fellas it's to rough to feed ya.
E G
At 7PM a main hatchway caved in.
D E
He said fellas it's been good to know ya.
E G
The captain wired in, he had water coming in,
D E
and the good ship and crew were in peril.
E G
Later that night when his lights went out of sight
D E
came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
E G
Does anyone know where the love of God goes,
D E
When the words turn minutes to hours.
E G
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
D E
If they'd fifteen more miles behind her.
E G
They might have split up and they might have capsized.
D E
They may have broke deep and took water.
E G
All that remains is the faces and the names
D E
of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
E G
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
D E
in the ruins of her ice water mansion.
E G
Old michigan steams like a young man's dreams,
D E
the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
E G
And farther below Lake Ontario
D E
takes in what Lake Erie can send her
E G
and the iron boats go as the mariners all know
D E
with the gales of November remembered.
E G
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
D E
in the Maritime Sailors Cathedral
E G
The church bell chimed, 'til it rang 29 times
D E
for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
E G
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
D E
to the big lake they call Gitche Gumee.
E G
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
D E
when the gales of november come early.
