G D Asus2 Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty. Em That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed. G D Asus2 When the "Gales of November" came early. Em The ship was the pride of the American side. G D Asus2 Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin. Em As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most. G D Asus2 And a wave broke over the railing. Em And every man knew, as the captain did too, G D Asus2 T'was the witch of November come stealin'. Em The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait. G D Asus2 When the Gales of November came slashin'.
