Tuning: G C E A
I've been really enjoying alt.guitar for the last few weeks and I just stumbled
on to alt.guitar.tab.... 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#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:
And thEe morning will blow away
As the waves crash and fall A
And The Reach like a siren Esings
As she beckons and calls F#m A
As the coastline recedes fErom 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 Bof my soul E
--
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.
