(Intro)

Strum F

CHORUS:

F Dm
Sweet mother Michigan, father Superior
Bb C
Coming down from Mackinaw and Sault St. Marie
F Dm
Blue water Huron, flow down to Lake Erie-O
Bb C F C
Fall to Ontario and run on out to sea


(Verse 1)

F
The Great Lakes are a diamond
Dm
On the hand of North America
Bb C
A brightly shining jewel on the friendship bordering
F Dm
Freshwater highway coming down from Canada
Bb C
All around the coastline, can't you hear them sing?


(CHORUS)

F Dm
Sweet mother Michigan, father Superior
Bb C
Coming down from Mackinaw and Sault St. Marie
F Dm
Blue water Huron, flow down to Lake Erie-O
Bb C F
Fall to Ontario and run on out to sea


(Bridge)

Dm Bb
Hearty are the seamen on the ships that load the iron ore
Dm C
Sailing out of Thunder Bay and bound for Buffalo
Dm
And hearty are the fishermen
Bb
Just like their fathers were before
Dm C F
Say they'll bury me at sea come my time to go

(Interlude)

Dm Bb C C

(Verse 2)

F
Down below the quarterdecks
Dm
The old men mend the fishing nets
Bb
And up above the windy bridge
C
The young men curse into the wind
F
And up and down the Windsor Straits
Dm
The wives and mothers lie awake
Bb C F
And pray our lady of the lake Will send them home again
C
Singin'

(CHORUS)

F Dm
Sweet mother Michigan, father Superior
Bb C
Coming down from Mackinaw and Sault St. Marie
F Dm
Blue water Huron, flow down to Lake Erie-O
Bb C F C
Fall to Ontario and run on out to sea


(CHORUS)

F Dm
Sweet mother Michigan, father Superior
Bb C
Coming down from Mackinaw and Sault St. Marie
F Dm
Blue water Huron, flow down to Lake Erie-O
Bb C Dm Bb
Fall to Ontario and run on out to se___a
F C F
Run on out to se___a
