The Reach by Dan Fogelberg
The Reach
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.

It's Maine, and it's Autumn,
the birches have just begun turning
It's life and it's dying
The lobstermen's boats come returning
with the catch of the day in their holds
And the young boy is cold and complaining
The fog meets the beaches and out on the Reach it is raining
It's father and son,
it's the way it's been done since the old days
It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land where their chow waits
And the days are all lonely and long and the seas grow so stormy and strong but...
The Reach will sing welcome as homeward they hurry along
(Chorus)
And the morning will blow away as the waves crash and fall
And the Reach like a siren sings as she beckons and calls
As the coastline recedes from view and the seas swell and roll
I will take from the Reach all that she has to teach to the depths of my soul
The wind brings a chill, there's a frost on the sill in the morning
It creeps through the door
On the edge of the shore ice is forming
Soon the northers will bluster and blow
And the woods will be whitened with snowfall
And the Reach will lie frozen for the lost and unchosen to row
(Chorus)
