   This is a cover of a song by Gordon Lightfoot. It's about a ship
   that sank sometime in the 70's. Really good lyrics. The Dandys
   don't play the whole song though, they mix up some verses and
   skip others, I tabbed the song exactly as they play it but I put
   the complete lyrics at the bottom of the file if you want to see
   them. This song was a B-side on the 'Boys Better' single if I
   remember correctly, but I'm not tabbing that version, coz I loaned
   someone my CD. The version I'm tabbing is a live version I got off
   Napster so if it's a bit different than on the CD that's the
   reason.

   E     Bm     D  A  E
   E     Bm     D  A  E

   VERSE 1:
   --------
       E                        Bm
   The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
          D             A           E
   Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
       E                       Bm
   The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
            D          A          E
   When the skies of November are gloomy
   
   
   VERSE 2: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   With a load of iron ore - 26,000 tons more
   Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
   That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
   When the gales of November came early
   
   
   VERSE 3: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   The ship was the pride of the American side
   Coming back from some mill in Wisconson
   Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
   When she left fully loaded for Cleveland
   
   
   BRIDGE:
   -------
   Bm     A  E
   Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
   Bm     A  E
   Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
   
   
   VERSE 4: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
   When the waves came over the railing
   When afternoon came it was freezing rain
   In the face of the hurricane West Wind
   
   
   VERSE 5: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   At 7PM the old cook came on deck
   Said "fellas it's too rough to feed ya"
   When the Captain wired in he had water coming in
   Said "fellas it's been good to know ya"
   
   
   BRIDGE:
   -------
   Bm     A  E
   Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
   Bm     A  E
   Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
   
   
   VERSE 6: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
   In the ruins of her ice water mansion
   Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams,
   The islands and bays are for sportsmen
   
   
   VERSE 7: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   And farther below Lake Ontario
   She takes in what Lake Erie can send her
   And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
   With the gales of November remembered
   
   
   VERSE 8: [Play like VERSE 1]
   --------
   In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
   In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
   The church bell chimes, 'til it rings 29 times
   Once for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
   
   
   
   That's all the Dandy Warhols play.
