[E]It's Maine and it's Autumn


The Birches have just begun [F#m]turni[B]ng


[E]It's life and it's dying


The lobsterman's boats come [F#m]return[B]ing


With the [C#m]catch of the day in their [A]holds


And the [E]young boys cold and c[F#m]omplain[B]ing


[A]The 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 [F#m]old d[B]ays


[E]It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land


Where their c[F#m]how wa[B]its


And the [C#m]days are all lonley and l[A]ong


And the s[E]eas grow so stormy and st[F#m]rong, b[B]ut...


[E]The Reach will sing welcome


as homeward they hurry along


[--]   CHORUS:


        [E]And the morning will blow away


        As the waves crash and f[A]all


        And The Reach like a [E]siren sings


        As she beckons and [F#m]calls[A]


        As the coastline rec[E]edes from view


        And the seas swell and [A]grow


        I will take from The [E]Reach


        All the she has to [F#m]teach[A]


        To the d[B]epths of my s[E]oul


[--]   [E]The wind brings a chill


There's a frost on the sill in the [F#m]morni[B]ng


[E]It creeps through the door


And out on the shore, ice is f[F#m]ormin[B]g


Soon the [C#m]Northers will bluster and [A]blow


And the [E]woods will be whitened with s[F#m]nowfa[B]ll


And The [E]Reach 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.
