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
E
It's Maine and it's Autumn
F#m B
The Birches have just begun turning
E
It's life and it's dying
F#m B
The lobsterman's boats come returning
C#m A
With the catch of the day in their holds
E F#m B
And the young boys cold and complaining
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
F#m B
It's the way it's been done since the old days
E
It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land
F#m B
Where their chow waits
C#m A
And the days are all lonley and long
E F#m B
And the seas grow so stormy and strong, but...
E
The Reach will sing welcome
as homeward they hurry along
--
CHORUS:
E
And the morning will blow away
A
As the waves crash and fall
E
And The Reach like a siren sings
F#m A
As she beckons and calls
E
As the coastline recedes from view
A
And the seas swell and grow
E
I will take from The Reach
F#m A
All the she has to teach
B E
To the depths of my soul
--
E
The wind brings a chill
F#m B
There's a frost on the sill in the morning
E
It creeps through the door
F#m B
And out on the shore, ice is forming
C#m A
Soon the Northers will bluster and blow
E F#m B
And the woods will be whitened with snowfall
E
And The 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.
