Chords for The Blue Pike Song

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You can [G] talk of Lake Erie [Am] and all it's [G] about
_ _ With the perch [Am] and the walleye, [G] the [F] steelhead and trout
_ [G] But of all the sports fish [Am] you may fondly [G] recall
_ Sure, the [Am] darling blue pike [G] was the queen of them all _
Well, was this great [F] lake with blue pike [C] at its teen
From [Am] old mommy bay [G] to Niagara's great stream _
You [G] could cast out your line [F] any time [G] of the day
_ _ And [Am] haul in a blue pike [G] from old Erie
_ _ So it's raging west for those [Am] in the years to [C] the day
_ [G] When the blue pike swam free in the old [C] Erie _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Then the back trees sprang up [F] fouling water [C] and air
And the fish tugs [Am] and gill [G] nets took [Am] more than their share
_ [C] And says the blue pike this [Am] is no place [C] to stay
_ And she bid her [F] farewell to [G] the old Erie
[C] _
_ [G] So it's raging west for [F] those in the years to [C] the day
_ When the blue pike [Am] swam free [G] in the old Erie _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _

_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ Now the back trees grow [F] quieter year [C] after year
_ And those [Am] poison lake waters [G] are starting [F] to clear _
If [C] we all do our part [Am] we may yet see [C] the day
When the blue [F] pike returns to [G] the old Erie _ _
So it's raging west for [F] those in the years [C] to the day
[G] When the [Am] blue pike swam free [G] in the old Erie
_ So it's raging west for those [F] in the years [G] to the day
When the blue [Am] pike returns [G] to the old [C] Erie _ _ _ _ _
