Verse
E
She was there at the dock when the lines cast off,
C D E
And the Fitz got under way.
G D E
The sun shone down as the wake trailed out
A E B
On that cold November day.
A E
When she wrapped her cloak over ship and crew,
A E B
When the winds began to roar.
E G D E
Every man aboard tightened down their souls,
A B E
Far from the Michigan shore.
[Violin]
G D E A A A E
[Verse 2]
E
McSorley true, telephoned the crew,
C D E
When the storm was setting in.
G D E
Better hold on tight, through this day and night,
A E B
Of straight line killer winds.
A E
Forty-four years I have met these storms,
A E B
When Nor'easter gales have blown;
E G D E
But oh, these mountains on Superior,
A B E
Are the worst I've ever known.
[Violin]
E D E A A A E
[Verse 3]
E
Who hears a prayer, when the wind strikes down
C D E
And the seas boil into foam,
G D E
When the waves cap off and are blown away,
A E B
And you're miles away from home?
A E
Who hears a cry when the north wind roars,
A E B
And the crew are pitched to the rail,
E G D E
As the great ship rolls, and the church bell tolls,
A B E
For those who are lost in the gale?
[Violin]
G D E A A A E

[Verse 4]
E
When he first saw her, we'll never know,
C D E
On the deck wash, or the bridge.
G D E
He must have known when the Fitz would groan,
A E B
And the bow began to pitch;
A E
When she came for the crew, and McSorley too,
A E B
As the Fitz rose up no more.
E G D E
"Oh, lady of the storms, you won this year,
A B E
But I bested you for forty-four!"
[Violin]
