Intro
D
VERSE:
D Bm A G
Well it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
D G Bm A
But to watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
D Bm F#m G
Wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
D A G
Whirl off one more youngster in the gale.
D Bm A G
The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.
D G Bm A
Never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.
D Bm F#m G
And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,
D A D
Show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.
CHORUS
A G D
But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
G D Bm A
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
D Esus2 F#m G
But tonight a red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
Bm A G
And her lover's gone into a white squall.
D Bm A G
It's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm
D G Bm A
There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.
D Bm F#m G
And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
D A G
While the gale takes all before it with a scream.
D Bm A G
The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.
D G Bm A
From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.
D Bm F#m G
So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,
D A D
Even on a night so warm and fine.
REPEAT CHORUS
D Bm A G
And I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.
D G Bm A
And I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.
D Bm F#m G
Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.
D A D
Far overside, I heard him call my name.
