Jeez Louise, I pulled 24 songs off the net yesterday. I thought I'd better give some back. Here's a few I've had around here. Please enjoy, I'll be posting some more soon. The Reach by Dan Fogelburg D D- A E ... D D- A E

^EIt's Maine and it's Autumn The Birches have just begun ^F#mturni^Bng ^EIt's life and it's dying The lobsterman's boats come ^F#mreturn^Bing With the ^C#mcatch of the day in their ^Aholds And the ^Eyoung boys cold and c^F#momplain^Bing ^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 d^Bays ^EIt's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land Where their c^F#mhow wa^Bits And the ^C#mdays are all lonley and l^Aong And the s^Eeas grow so stormy and st^F#mrong, b^But... ^EThe Reach will sing welcome

as homeward they hurry along -- CHORUS:

And the^E morning will blow away As the waves crash and fall ^A And The Reach like a siren s^Eings As she beckons and calls ^F#m ^A As the coastline recedes fr^Eom view And the seas swell and grow ^A I will take from The Reach ^E All the she has to teach ^F#m ^A To the depths o^Bf my soul ^E

^EThe wind brings a chill There's a frost on the sill in the ^F#mmorni^Bng ^EIt creeps through the door And out on the shore, ice is f^F#mormin^Bg Soon the ^C#mNorthers will bluster and ^Ablow And the ^Ewoods will be whitened with s^F#mnowfa^Bll 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. ________________________________________________________________ ___ Phil Bearce at HP San Jose - Components (/__) /_ . /) internet: phil@hpmsfpb.sj.hp.com / / )_(__(_ - "Look out for that root." -James Taylor ________________________________________________________________
