E
It's Maine and it's Autumn
F#m BThe Birches have just begun turning
It's life and it's dying
F#m BThe lobsterman's boats come returning
C#m AWith the catch of the day in their holds
And the young boys cold and complaining
AThe fog meets the beaches
And out on the Reach it is raining. D D- A E ... D D- A E
E
It's father and son
It's the way it's been done since the old days
EIt's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land
F#m BWhere their chow waits
And the days are all lonley and long
E F#m BAnd the seas grow so stormy and strong, but...
EThe Reach will sing welcome
as homeward they hurry along
And the morning will blow away
As the waves crash and fall
EAnd The Reach like a siren sings
F#m AAs she beckons and calls
As the coastline recedes from view
AAnd the seas swell and grow
EI will take from The Reach
All the she has to teach
B ETo the depths of my soul
E
The wind brings a chill
F#m BThere's a frost on the sill in the morning
It creeps through the door
F#m BAnd out on the shore, ice is forming
C#m ASoon the Northers will bluster and blow
And the woods will be whitened with snowfall
EAnd The Reach will lie frozen
For the lost and unchosen to row.
