Concluding some terms
Em
with a couple of steel firms
G
D
When they left fully loaded
A
for Cleveland
Then later that night
Em
when the ship's bell rang
G
D
Could it be the north wind
A
G
D
A
making feelings?
The wind and the wires
Em
made a tattle -tale sound
G
D

When the wave broke over the railing
And every man knew,
Em
as the captain did too,
G
Twas the witch of Novem
D
A
ber come stealin'.
The dawn came late

When supper time came,
Em
the old cook came on deck
G
D
A
saying, fellas, it's too rough to feed you.

At 7 p .m. a main hatchway gave in
G

A
He said, fellas, it's been good to know ya
The captain wired in,
Em
he had water comin' in
G
And the good shippin'
D
A
crew was in peril
And later that night
Em
when his lights went out of sight
G
Came the wrecker,

A
G
A
D
A
the Edmund Fitzgerald
G
D
A
Does anyone know where
Em
the love of God goes
G
D
A
When the waves turn the minutes to hours
The searchers all say they'd have made
Em
Whitefish Bay
G
D
If they'd put fifteen more
A
miles behind her
They might have split up
Em
or they might have capsized
G
D
They may have broke deep
A
and took water
And all that remains is the
Em
faces and the names
G
D
Of the wives and the sons and
A
D
A
the daughters
G
D
A
Em
Lake Huron rolls superior scenes
G
D
A
In the rooms of her ice -water mansion
Oh, Michigan steams like a
Em
young man's dreams
G
D
A
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
Em
And farther below Lake Ontario
G
D
A
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
The iron boats go as the
E
Em
mariners all go
G
D
With the gales of November remembered

for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
