Dan Fogelberg - The Reach Chords

[Intro]
D Dsus2 A E  Esus4  E  D Dsus2 A  E   Esus4  E  Esus4


     E              Esus4
It's Maine and it's Autumn
    E            Esus4      Bsus4    
The Birches have just begun turning
     E             Esus4
It's life and it's dying
    E            Esus4        Bsus4   
The lobsterman's boats come returning
         C#m                       A
With the catch of the day in their holds
        C#m                    A   B
And the young boys cold and complaining
    E             Esus4
The fog meets the beaches
    E          Esus4       E        Esus4   E
And out on the Reach it is raining.


D Dsus2 A E Esus4   E   D Dsus2 A


     E          Esus4
It's father and son
         E             Esus4          Bsus4      
It's the way it's been done since the old days
     E          Esus4          E            Esus4
It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land
            Bsus4        B
Where their chow waits
        C#m                     A
And the days are all lonely and long
        C#m                     A       B
And the seas grow so stormy and strong, but...
    E               Esus4
The Reach will sing welcome
   E             Esus4  E      Esus4   E
as homeward they hurry along


[CHORUS]
                     E    Esus4  E
And the morning will blow a - -  way
       E               A
As the waves crash and fall
                     E    Esus4 E
And The Reach like a si - ren   sings
       E           F#m      A
As she beckons and calls
                   E     Esus4  E
As the coastline recedes from   view
        E              A
And the seas swell and grow
A                    E
I will take from The Reach
                   F#m
All the she has to teach
                    E Esus4 E
To the depths of my soul


D Dsus4 A E Esus4 E D Dsus4 A


E                 Esus4
The wind brings a chill
          E            Esus4       Bsus4    
There's a frost on the sill in the morning
   E                  Esus4
It creeps through the door
    E          Esus4         Bsus4    
And out on the shore, ice is forming
         C#m                       A
Soon the Northers will bluster and blow
        C#m                         A   B
And the woods will be whitened with snowfall
E                      Esus4
And The Reach will lie frozen

        E          Esus4     E     Esus4    E
For the lost and unchosen to row.

[CHORUS]
                     E    Esus4  E
And the morning will blow a - -  way
       E               A
As the waves crash and fall
                     E    Esus4 E
And The Reach like a si - ren   sings
       E           F#m      A
As she beckons and calls
                   E     Esus4  E
As the coastline recedes from   view
        E              A
And the seas swell and grow
A                    E
I will take from The Reach
                   F#m
All the she has to teach
                    E Esus4 E
To the depths of my soul
