The Reach Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

D D A E D D A E

EIt's Maine and it's Autumn

The Birches have just begun F♯mturniBng

EIt's life and it's dying

The lobsterman's boats come F♯mreturnBing

With the C♯mcatch of the day in their Aholds

And the Eyoung boys cold and cF♯momplainBing

AThe fog meets the beaches

And out on the Reach it is raining. D D- A E ... D D- A E

EIt's father and son

It's the way it's been done since the F♯mold dBays

EIt's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land

Where their cF♯mhow waBits

And the C♯mdays are all lonley and lAong

And the sEeas grow so stormy and stF♯mrong, bBut...

EThe Reach will sing welcome

as homeward they hurry along

Chorus

EAnd the morning will blow away

As the waves crash and fAall

And The Reach like a Esiren sings

As she beckons and F♯mcallsA

As the coastline recEedes from view

And the seas swell and Agrow

I will take from The EReach

All the she has to F♯mteachA

To the dBepths of my sEoul

EThe wind brings a chill

There's a frost on the sill in the F♯mmorniBng

EIt creeps through the door

And out on the shore, ice is fF♯morminBg

Soon the C♯mNorthers will bluster and Ablow

And the Ewoods will be whitened with sF♯mnowfaBll

And The EReach will lie frozen

For the lost and unchosen to row.

Chorus

Note: D- I don't know the name of this chord, but it's just a D with

your finger off the E string.
