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.
