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