Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the edmond fitzgerald

^Asus2The legend lives on from^Em the chippewa on down Of the^G big lak^De they called ^Asus2"Gitche Gumee" The lake, it is said, never ^Emgives up her dead When the s^Gkies of N^Dovember turn gl^Asus2oomy With a load of iron ore twenty-six ^Emthousand tons more Than the ^GEdmund Fitzg^Derald weighed ^Asus2empty. That good ship and crew was a ^Embone to be chewed When the &q^Guot;Gales^D of November&qu^Asus2ot; came early.

The ship was the pride of the ^EmAmerican side Coming^G back from s^Dome mil^Asus2l in Wisconsin As the big freighters go, it was b^Emigger than most With a^G crew and go^Dod captain^Asus2 well seasoned Concluding some terms with a c^Emouple of steel firms When they l^Geft fully ^Dloaded for ^Asus2Cleveland And later that night when the ^Emship's bell rang Could it^G be the nor^Dth wind they'd^Asus2 been feelin''

The wind in the wires made a ^Emtattle-tale sound And a ^Gwave bro^Dke over ^Asus2the railing And every man knew, as the ^Emcaptain did too, T'was the w^Gitch of ^DNovember come ^Asus2stealin'. The dawn came late and the ^Embreakfast had to wait When the^G Gales ^Dof November ^Asus2came slashin'. When afternoon came it was ^Emfreezin' rain In the^G face of^D a hurricane w^Asus2est wind.

When suppertime came, the old ^Emcook came on deck Sayin'. ^G"Fell^Das, it's too ro^Asus2ugh to feed ya." At Seven P.M. a main ^Emhatchway caved in', he said ^G"Fell^Das, it's been ^Asus2good t'know ya" The captain wired in he had ^Emwater comin' in and the^G good ship a^Dnd crew w^Asus2as in peril. And later that night when 'is l^Emights went outta sight Came the^G wreck of t^Dhe Edmund^Asus2 Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the l^Emove of God goes When the^G waves turn ^Dthe minut^Asus2es to hours' The searches all say they'd have ^Emmade Whitefish Bay If they'd^G put fifteen m^Dore miles ^Asus2behind her. They might have split up or they m^Emight have capsized; They ^Gmay have bro^Dke deep and ^Asus2took water. And all that remains is the ^Emfaces and the names Of the^G wives and t^Dhe sons and^Asus2 the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, S^Emuperior sings In the^G rooms of h^Der ice-w^Asus2ater mansion. Old Michigan steams like a ^Emyoung man's dreams; The i^Gslands and ^Dbays are for s^Asus2portsmen. And farther below ^EmLake Ontario Takes^G in what La^Dke Erie can ^Asus2send her, And the iron boats go as the ^Emmariners all know with the^G Gales ^Dof Novem^Asus2ber remembered.

In a musty old hall in D^Emetroit they prayed, In the ^G"M^Daritime ^Asus2Sailors' Cathedral." The church bell chimed till it r^Emang twenty-nine times For each m^Gan on the ^DEdmund Fitzg^Asus2erald. The legend lives on from the Ch^Emippewa on down Of the^G big lake th^Dey call &qu^Asus2ot;Gitche Gumee". "Superior", they said^Em, "never gives up her dead When the ^G'Gales ^Dof November' c^Asus2ome early!
