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
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
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  
The storms of November are all that is fearful to me.
      C          G         C            D          G 
The storms of November are all that is fearful to me.
