♥[Verso 1]
D G D G
Come all ye lads who yearn to go on the Great Lakes for to sail
Bm F#m Em A
Hear my song of the lost ship Speedy and her sad and fateful tale
D G D G
As I am cursed through all of my days, no peace I fear Ill know
Bm F#m Em A D
'Til I join those souls, in the waters below of Lake Ontar-i-o
[Verso 2]
D G D G
As I near my end youll not know me but Lockwood is my name
Bm F#m Em A
A simple man of small renowned and little wealth to claim
D G D G
And of this tale I must relay, that my spirit may be saved
Bm F#m Em A D
Of those lost souls who sank with her and haunt me to my grave
[Verso 3]
D G D G
Twas in the year eighteen-oh-four, the story had begun
Bm F#m Em A
In the dark of eve on Scugog isle that a murder had been done
D G D G
Although I was not near there, I swore I saw a fight
Bm F#m Em A D
Where the native Obgetonicut, had taken John Sharps life
[Ponte]
G F#m A Bm
So aided by the Farewells, we chased him down that eve
G D Em Asus4
And brought him forth to justice and Colonel Givens leave
G F#m A Bm
So then both chained and captured he would be held for trial
G/B D/A Asus4 Asus2
His fate thus sealed by my own words his honour thus reviled
[Verso 4]
D G D G
The trial would be held upon the shores near Presquile Bay
Bm F#m Em A
The Speedy was the schooner that would voyage down the lake
D G D G
To carry judge and jury, court officers and crew
Bm F#m Em A D
East of Muddy York she sailed, the pris'ner to his due
[Verso 5]
D G D G
Was it fate or was it God that stopped me on that day
Bm F#m Em A
For I chose to join the Farewells for the journey to the bay
D G D G
No I did not board the Speedy nor hear of her sad tale
Bm F#m Em A D
Until we reached our journeys end amidst a mighty gale
[Ponte]
G F#m A Bm
But God alone would know the storm that hit the lake that night
G D Em Asus4
That shook her beams and tore her sails and drove her out of sight
G F#m A Bm
No sign of crew or cargo no bodies ever found
G/B D/A Asus4 Asus2
And on my very soul will bare the mark of those whod drowned
[Verso 6]
