Storms Of November
Words & Music by John Denver
Em G C G
Just wait till November, the old sailors say
C G D
It's a terrible time of the year
C G C G
If you wish to travel across Georgia Bay
C G C
You will have reason to fear
G
There's a danger when water and sky become one
C G D
And the fog makes you blind as can be
C G
When the earth starts to tremble, a man wants to run
C G C D G C G D G C G D
For the Storms of November are all that is fearful to me.
Em G C G
Once the voyagers came on a run from the woods
C G D
The canoes that were loaded with fur
C G C G
Now the ships are like giants, and loaded with goods
C G C
Cause just weeks when the sea starts to stir
G
For the waters are driven by one straight from hell
C G D
And a fury takes over the sea
C G
And the waves are like mountains, boy, mark my words well
C G C D G C G D G C G D
The storms of November are all that is fearful to me.
Em C G
They say she's a woman, this ship that I serve
C G D
She's a queen and a temptress to me.
C G C G
With my mind and my muscle and all of my earth
C G C D G C G D G C G D
I'll not give her up to the demon who lives in the sea.
Em G C G
