_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] On [F] a day just like this on [Am] the ocean [F] four years ago now
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _
The [F] wind was too strong, [Am] the waves were too big
[F] Three young men were thrown off the bow _ _ [C] _
_ [B] _ [Gm] And I was at home, they were [Dm] fighting towards
[B] Mother _ [G] Earth _ _ _
_ [Am] Two of them died [C] only twenty years after [F] their
birth _ _ In October, _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] ooh _ _ _
[F] _ And the last of the three was left [Am] hopelessly [F] crying for help
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am]
The [F] wind was screaming but [Am] the silence was stronger as [F] he stood with his feet in the
kelp [C] The _ _ _ [Gm] sun was still up but it was [Dm] night time
when I heard [B] who [G] died _ _ _ _ [Am] I only knew Eric [Em] cause one [C] time he gave me
[F] a ride _ In _ _ [Am] October, _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] ooh _ _ _
[F] _ I didn't know him well but I [Am] liked him, he was [F] one of those guys _ _ _ _ _
That everyone knew, either [Am] liked him or not Cause there [F] were no sign of lies in his [C] eyes _ _
[B] _ I was [Gm] seventeen years old the [Dm] last time he spoke to [G]
me _ _ _ _ _
[Am] I'm twenty one and I am older [C] than he'd ever [F] be _
_ [F] _ _ In October, [B] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ ooh _ _ _
_ [Am] My [F] father is his mother's cousin so that makes us kin
_ _ [C] _ [F] _
I remember those family [Am]
dinners and the old [F] people's funerals again and again
[C] _ _ _
_ So [Gm] strange looking round in the [Dm] crowd when he wouldn't be [G]
found _ _ _ _ _
[Am] Oh, the look on the face of his brother when they lowered [F] him down
_ _ _ In October, [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ ooh _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _

[F] _ _ _ October's the best, [Am] turns roads into [F] beautiful trails
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[F] The rhyme on the windows, [Am] the leaves on your coat
[F] The frost on the cars and the rails _ [C]
Still _ [Gm] out on the ocean those [Dm] memories are
bringing me [B]
down _ _ But _ [Am] I've heard there's a symphony [Em]
playing
you [C] to sleep when [F] you drown _ _ _ _ _
October, _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] again and again _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
