Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald Tab

by Gordon Lightfoot


My dad always played it this way on his 12 string and to me it sounds the most like the 
 I would suggest NOT using a capo.  It gives the sadder sound.  This is my first post so 
free to drop some comments.

The Full Lyrics (thanks to Brian Ross)
===============
                                    
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down

                                    
Of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee"

                                     
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

                           
When the skies of November turn gloomy

                                         
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand 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.
