October
Capo:5th fret
C Am F
On a day just like this on the ocean four years

C Am
The wind was to strong the waves were to big
F C
three young men were thrown of the bow
Fmaj7
and I was at home they were fighting towards
G7
mother earth
Am7 Em7
and two of them died only twenty years after
F
their birth
C
in october oh
C Am
And the last of the three was left hopelessly
F C
crying for help
C Am
The wind was screaming but the silence was
F C
stronger as he stood with his feet in the kelp
Fmaj7
The sun was still up but it was night time when
G7
I heard who died
Am7 Em7
I only knew eric cause one time he gave me a
F
ride
C
in october oh
C Am
Now I didn't know him well but I liked him he
F C
was one of those guys
C Am
that everyone knew either liked him or not
F C
cause there were no sign of lies in his eyes
Fmaj7
I was seventeen years old the last time he
G7
spoke to me
Am7 Em7
Now I'm twenty one and I'm older than he'll
F
ever be
C
in october oh
C Am F
My father is his mothers cousin so that makes
C
us kin
C Am
I remember those family dinners and the old
F C
peoples funerals again and again
Fmaj7
so strange looking round in the crowd when he
G7
wouldn't be found
Am7 Em7
oh the look on the face of his brother when
C
they lowered him down
C
in october oh
C Am F
October is the best turns roads into beautiful
C
trails
C Am
The rime on the windows the leafs on your coat
F C
the frost on the cars and the rails
Fmaj7
Still out on the ocean those memories are
G7
bringing me down
Am7 Em7
but I've heard there's a symphony playing you
F
to sleep when you drown
C
October again and again

[Verse 1]
On a day just like this on the ocean, four years ago now
The wind was too strong, the waves were too big, three young men
Were thrown of the bow
And I was at home when they were fighting towards mother earth
And two of them died only twenty years after their birth
In October, oh
[Verse 2]
And the last of the three was left hopelessly crying for help
The wind was screaming but the silence was stronger as he stood with
His feet in the kelp
The sun was still up, but it was night time when I heard who died
I only knew Eric 'cause one time he gave me a ride
In October, oh
[Verse 3]
Now, I didn't know him well, but I liked him, he was one of those guys
That everyone knew either liked him or not, 'cause there were no sign
Of lies in his eyes
I was seventeen years old the last time he spoke to me
Now I'm twenty one and I'm older than he'll ever be
In October, oh
[Verse 4]
My father is his mothers cousin, so that makes us kin
I remember those family dinners, and the old peoples funerals again
And again
So strange looking 'round in the crowd when he wouldn't be found
Oh, the look on the face of his brother when they lowered him down
In October, oh
[Verse 5]
October is the best, turns roads into beautiful trails
The rime on the windows, the leaves on your coat, the frost on the cars
And the rails
Still, out on the ocean, those memories are bringing me down
But I've heard there's a symphony playing you to sleep when you drown
October, again and again
