Verse 1
It's (D major) May and it's autumn,
the birches have just begun turning.
(A major) (D major) It's life and it's dying,
the lobstermen's
boats come return (A major) ing.
(D major) With the catch of the day in their holds,
the young boys are cold
and com (B minor) plain (A major) ing,
and the (D major) fog meets the beaches
while out (A major) on (D major) the reach it is (B minor) rain (D major) ing.
It's father and son,
(G major) it's the (D major) way it's been done
since the old (A major) days.
It's (D major) falling by (G major) hand,
(D major) ten miles out from the (G major) land
where their troll (A major) waits.
Where (D major) the (G major) days (D major) are all lonely and long,
The (B minor) seeds they grow
(D major) stormy and strong. (B minor) (D major)
(A major) The (D major) reeds will sing welcome,
(A major) as homeward (D major) they hurry (A major) along. (D major)
And the morning will blow (A major) away,
(D major) As the waves crash and (G major) fall,
And the (D major) reed like a siren sings,
As she beckons and (A major) calls,
(D major) As the coastline recedes from (A major) (D major) view,
The sea swell and (G major) row.
I'll (D major) take from the reach
All that she has to teach
(G major) To the depths of (E minor) my soul. (D major)
The wind brings a (G major) chill,
(D major) there's a frost on the (G major) sill in
(D major) the morn (A major) ing.
(D major) It creeps through the (G major) door,
(D major) at the edge of the (G major) shore,
ice is form (A major) ing.
Soon (D major) the northerns will bluster and blow,
The trees will be (G major) whitened with snow (B minor) (G major) fall,
(A major) (D major) An d the reeds will lie frozen
to the lost and unchosen (A major) to roam. (D major)
And the morning will blow away, (A major)
(D major) As the waves crash and fall, (G major)
And the (D major) reach like a siren (A major) sings,
(D major) As she beckons an (E minor) d call (A major) s,
(D major) As the coastline recedes from view,
The seas swell and (G major) row.
I'll take (D major) from the reach
All that she has to (A major) teach
To (G major) the (E minor) depths of my soul.
(D major) I'll (G major) take (D major) from the reach
all that she has to teach
(G major) to the depths (E minor) of my soul. (A major)
