Verse 1

The legend lives on

from the Chippewa on down
A

Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
B
B
F#m
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
A

B
When the skies of November turn gloomy
B
B
With a load of iron ore
F#m
twenty-six thousand tons more
A

Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty

That good ship and true

was a bone to be chewed
A

When the gales of November came early

Verse 2
B
F#m
The ship was the pride of the American side
A
E
B
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
B
As the big freighters go,
F#m
it was bigger than most
A
E
B
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
B
Concluding some terms
F#m
with a couple of steel firms
A
E
B
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
B
F#m
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
A

Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

And a wave broke over the railing

And every man knew, as the captain did too
A
E
B
T'was the witch of November come stealin'
B
B
The dawn came late
F#m
and the breakfast had to wait
A
E
B
When the gales of November came slashin'

When afternoon came it was freezin' rain

In the face of a hurricane west wind

When suppertime came,

the old cook came on deck sayin'

"Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"

At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in,
A

he said "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"

The captain wired in he had water comin' in

when his lights went outta sight

Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Verse 5
B
Does any one know
F#m
where the love of God goes
A
E
B
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
B
B
The searchers all say
F#m
they'd have made Whitefish Bay
A
E
B
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
B
B
They might have split up
F#m
or they might have capsized
A
E
B
They may have broke deep and took water
B
And all that remains
F#m
is the faces and the names
A
E
B
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
A
E
B
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
B
Old Michigan steams
F#m
like a young man's dreams
A
E
B
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
B
B
F#m
And farther below Lake Ontario
A
E
B
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
B
And the iron boats go
F#m
as the mariners all know
A
E
B
With the gales of November remembered
