[Intro]
Am G D
| | | x2
[Verse]
Am
32 men on a Great Lakes boat
C
Quit the pier at Thunder Bay
G
28,000 tons of coal
F G
On a cold November day
Am
800 feet and 10 more long
C
80 feet across
G
The steel mills of Detroit
F G
Our destination through the frost
Am
At 2 AM on the 2nd
C
Waves were runnin' up to 40 feet
G
Winds were blowing 60 miles
F G
Our engines crankin' heat
Am
At 3:13 we took a wave
C
Our wheelhouse left behind
G
The radar slipped beneath the waves
F G
And we were runnin' blind
C G
Hear me call across the waves
Am
If I don't come home tonight
F G
I will make it home some day
[Chorus]
Am
(Steel boats and iron men)
G D
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
Am
(Steel boats and iron men)
G D
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
Am
(Steel boats and iron men)
E
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
[Verse]
Am
A captain name of Phillips
C
Seekin' shelter from the storm
G
Turned us south of Bête Grise Bay
F G
By way of Keewenaw point
Am
But the wind was blowing at such a rate
C
We ended up driftin' north
G
A wave broke over a knife of rock
F
Six Fathom Shoal
Am
Mackenzie she was cut in half
C
The stern she ram the bow
G
The men were calling metaljunk
F Em
Flames burned out of hell
Am
Stern kept running on lights of blades
C
Not one man would be found
G
Captain's last transmission read
F
32 men down, 32 men down
C G
Hear me call across the waves
Am
If I don't come home tonight
F G
I will make it home someday
[Chorus]
Am
(Steel boats and iron men)
G D
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
Am
(Steel boats and iron men)
G D
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
Am
(Steel boats and iron men)
G D
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
F G
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down
[Outro]
C G
And they call across the waves
Am
If I don't come home tonight
F G
I will make it home someday
C G
Yes, I call across the waves
Am
If I don't come home tonight
F G
I will make it home some day
