Em
lives on from the Chippewa
G
D
A
down of the big lake they call Kitchihoonee. Like it is said,
Em
never gives a bird dead
G
When the skies of Novem
D
A
ber turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore,
Em
twenty -six thousand tonne
G
D
More than the Edmund Fitzgerald
A good ship and true was a
G
D
A
When the gale of November came early
The ship was the pride of the
G
D
A
coming back from some military constant.
As big freighters go,
Em
it was big ger than most,
G
D
with a crew and a captain
Concluding some turns
Em
with a couple of steel firms
G
D
when they left fully loaded
And late that night
Em
when the ship bell rang
G
D
Could it be the north wind they was
A
Em
G
feelin'?
D
A
The wind in the wire made
Em
a tattle -tale sound
G
D
A
As the wave broke over the railing
And every man knew,
Em
as the cap tain did too,
D
A
ber come stealin'.
The dawn came late,
Em
and the breakfast had to wait,
G
D
as the gale of November came
When afternoon came,
Em
it was freezing rain,
G
D
A
in the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came,

the old cook came on deck
G

A
Saying, fellas, it's the year of the Fiji
Em
At seven p .m. the main hatch we gated
D
A
it's been good to know ya.
The captain wired in,
Em
they had wa ter comin' in,
D
A
crew was in peril.
Later that night,
Em
when it's light went out of sight,
G
D
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzger

ald.

Does anyone know where the
G
When the waves turned the
D
A
minutes to hours
Searchers all say they'd have
D
A
more miles behind her
Well, they might have split up
Em
or they might have capsized
G
D
A
They might have broke deep into the water
But all that remains are the
G
D
of the wives and a son and a
A

daughter.

Lake Huron rolls, Lake Superior sings in
G
D
A
the rooms of her ice water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a
G
D
the islands and bays are her
Em
Farther below Lake Ontario
G
D
A
She aches in what Lake Erie considered
And the iron boats go,
Em
as the mariners all know
G
D
When the gales of November
A
Em
G
D
A
remember
Em
In a musty old hall in Detroit they all pray
G
D
A
In the Maritime Sailor's Cathedral
The church bell chimed
Em
till it rang twenty -nine times
G
D
For each man on the edge of his
A
Em
G
jarrow
D
A
Em
G
D
A
And that legend lives on
Em
from the Chippewa on down
G
D
A
Of the big lake they call Itchewoobie
Superior they said,
Em
never gives up her debt
