The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald chords
Gordon Lightfoot 1975 (Summertime Dream)
Capo II
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
G D A
Of the big lake they called gitche gumee
A Em
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
G D A/////
When the skies of November turn gloomy
A Em
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
G D A/////
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
A Em
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
G D A/////
When the gales of November came early.
A Em
The ship was the pride of the American side
G D A/////
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
A Em
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
G D A/////
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
A Em
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
G D A
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
A Em
And later that night when the ships bell rang
G D A
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin?
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
G D A/////
And a wave broke over the railing
A Em
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
G D A/////
Twas the witch of November come stealin.
A Em
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
G D A/////
When the gales of November came slashing.
A Em
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
G D A
In the face of a hurricane west wind.
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck saying
G D A/////
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.
A Em
At seven p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said
G D A/////
Fellas, it's been good to know ya
A Em
The captain wired in he had water coming in
G D A/////
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
A Em
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
G D A
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
Does any one know where the love of God goes
G D A/////
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
A Em
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
G D A/////
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
A Em
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
G D A/////
May have broke deep and took water.
A Em
And all that remains is the faces and the names
G D A
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
A Em G D A G D A
A Em
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
G D A/////
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
A Em
Old Michigan steams like a young mans dreams;
G D A/////
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
A Em
And farther below lake Ontario
G D A/////
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
A Em
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
G D A
With the gales of November remembered.
A Em G D A G D A 2x
A Em
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
G D A/////
In the maritime sailors cathedral.
A Em
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
G D A/////
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
A Em
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
G D A/////
Of the big lake they call gitche gumee.
A Em
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
G D A
When the gales of November come early!
A Em G D A G D A . . . .
