Jonas Alaska - October

On a ^Fday just like this on the ^Amocean, four ^Fyears ago ^Cnow. The ^Fwind was too strong, the ^Amwaves were too big, three ^Fyoung men were thrown of the ^Cbow And ^GmI was at home when they were ^Ffighting towards mother ^G7earth And ^Amtwo of them died only ^Emtwenty years after their ^Fsus4birth ^F In Oc^Ctober, oh

And the ^Flast of the three was left ^Amhopelessly ^Fcrying for ^Chelp ^FThe wind was screaming but the ^Amsilence was stronger as he ^Fstood with his feet in the ^Ckelp The ^Gmsun was still up, but it was ^Fnight time when I heard who ^G7died I ^Amonly knew Eric 'cause ^Emone time he gave me a ^Fsus4ride ^F In Oc^Ctober, oh

Now, I ^Fdidn't know him well, but I ^Amliked him, he was ^Fone of those ^Cguys That ^Feveryone knew either ^Amliked him or not, 'cause there were ^Fno sign of lies in his ^Ceyes ^GmI was seventeen years old the ^Flast time he spoke to ^G7me ^AmNow I'm twenty one and I'm ^Emolder than he'll ever ^Fsus4be ^F In Oc^Ctober, oh

My ^Ffather is his mothers ^Amcousin, so that ^Fmakes us ^Ckin I re^Fmember those family ^Amdinners, and the old peoples ^Ffunerals again and a^Cgain ^GmSo strange looking 'round in the ^Fcrowd when he wouldn't be ^G7found ^AmOh, the look on the face of his ^Embrother when they lowered him ^Fsus4down ^F In Oc^Ctober, oh

Oc^Ftober is the best, turns ^Amroads into ^Fbeautiful ^Ctrails The ^Frime on the windows, the ^Amleafs on your coat, the ^Ffrost on the cars and the ^Crails ^GmStill, out on the ocean, those ^Fmemories are bringing me ^G7down ^AmBut I've heard there's a symphony ^Emplaying you to sleep when you ^Fsus4drown ^F Octob^Cer, again and again
