The song Harvest Moon is the title track from the album Harvest Moon, released in October, 1992.

I remember hearing a ton of Gordon Lightfoot as a kid growing up in Canada and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It has a beautiful, haunting sound with an easy repeating chord progression. I demonstrate the chords as well as the rhythm on acoustic guitar in the first video of this three part series. Add in some harmonica in the second video as well as a complete play through in the third to complete the series. If you're looking for a guitar backing track, guitar chords, lyrics, harmonica tabs, you'll find them too. Find it here: Edmund Fitzgerald
