[F#] It's May and it's Autumn, the birches [B] have just begun _ [C#] turning
_ _ _ [B] _
[F#] It's life and it's dying, the lobster [B] men's boats come _ [C#] returning _ _ _ _
[F#] [D#m] With the catch of the day in [B] their hold, _ [D#m] and the young boys cold and [B] complaining
[F#] _
The fog meets the [B] beaches [F#] and out on the reach it is raining
[B] _ [F#] _ _ [E] _

[E] _ [B] [F#] It's father and son, it's the way it's been [B] done [C#m] since the [B] old days
It's [C#] _ [F#] hauling by [B] hand ten [F#] miles out from [B] the land where [G#m] their child waits _
[C#] _ [D#m] And the days are all lonely [B] and long, _ [D#m] and the seas grow so stormy [B] and [C#] strong
[F#] But the reach will sing, welcome is home, would they hurry along?
[B] _ _ [F#] _
And the morning will blow, _ _ as the waves crash [B] and fall
[C#] And [B] _
the reach [F#] like a siren _ sings, as she [G#m] beckons and _ calls
[B] _
As the coastline [F#] we see from you, and the seas swell [B] and roll
_ I will take from [F#] the reach, all that she [G#m] has to teach, to the depths of [F#] my soul

[E] _ [B] _ [F#] wind brings a chill, there's a frost on the sill [B] [C#] in the morning _ _ _
_ [G#m] [F#] It creeps through the door on the edge of the shore, [B] [C#] ice is _ forming _ _
Soon [D#m] the northerns will bluster [B] and blow, _ [D#m] and the woods will be whitened with _
[C#] snowfall
[F#] And the reach will lie frozen, o'er the lost and unchosen to roam
[B] _ [F#] And the morning will [B] blow, _ [F#] _
as the waves crash [B] and fall
And _ the reach [F#] like a siren _ sings, as she beckons [G#m] and calls
_ _ [B] _
As the [C#] coastline [F#] we see from you, and the seas swell [B] and roll
_ _ I will take from [F#] the reach, all that she has [G#m] to teach, to the depths of [F#] my _ [B] soul
