Great Lakes Song Pat Dailey
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The [G]Great Lakes are a diamond on the [Em]hand of North America
[C]Brightly shining jewel on the [D]friendship bordering
[G]Freshwater highway [Em]coming down from Canada
[C]All along the shoreline, [D]you can hear them [G]sing
chorus:
[G]Sweet mother Michigan, [Em]father Superior
[C]Coming down from Mackinac and [D]Sault St. Marie
[G]Blue water Huron, Flow [Em]down to Lake Erie-O
[C]Fall to Ontario and [D]run on out to [G]sea
[G]Hardy are the seamen on the [Em]ships that load the iron ore
[C]Sailing out of Thunder Bay and [D]bound for Buffalo
[G]Hardy are the fishermen just [Em]like their fathers were before
[C]Say they'll bury me at sea c[D]ome my time to [G]go
(chorus)
[G]Oh the tales the sailors spin of [Em]mermaids singing in the wind
the [C]sinking of the Bessemer, the [D]drowning of the crew
[G]Memories of waters crossed of [Em]women won and fortunes lost
[C]Are etched upon their faces and their [D]faded old tat[G]oos
[Em]Down below the quarter decks the [C]old men mend the fishing nets
[G]Up above the windy bridge the [D]young men curse into the wind
[Em]up and down the windsor straits, the w[C]ives and mothers lie awake
[G]Pray our lady of the lake to [D]send them home again
(chorus)
(chorus)
