Capo 5.

 C5                         A5         F5
On a day just like this on the ocean four years 
    C5
ago now
     C5                     A5       
The wind was to strong the waves were to big 
            F5                      C5
three young men were thrown of the bow
    F5
and I was at home they were fighting towards 
       G5 
mother earth
    A5                   E5 
and two of them died only twenty years after 
      F5
their birth
     C5
in october oh

       C5                          A5
And the last of the three was left hopelessly 
F5          C5  
crying for help
      C5                         A5 
The wind was screaming but the silence was
                F5                          C5
stronger as he stood with his feet in the kelp
F5                               
The sun was still up but it was night time when 
            G5
I heard who died
         
  A5                   E5                 
I only knew eric cause one time he gave me a 
F5
ride
     C5
in october oh

C5                                A5
Now I didn't know him well but I liked him he 
    F5             C5
was one of those guys
      C5                    A5   
that everyone knew either liked him or not 
                 F5                       C5
cause there were no sign of lies in his eyes
F5
I was seventeen years old the last time he 
        G5 
spoke to me
A5                        E5
Now I'm twenty one and I'm older than he'll 
     F5
ever be
     C5
in october oh

   C5                     A5         F5
My father is his mothers cousin so that makes
   C5 
us kin
  C5                      A5
I remember those family dinners and the old 
        F5                   C5 
peoples funerals again and again
F5
so strange looking round in the crowd when he
            G5 
wouldn't be found
A5                            E5  
oh the look on the face of his brother when 
                 C5 
they lowered him down
     C5
in october oh

  C5                       A5          F5
October is the best turns roads into beautiful 
 C5
trails
    C5                        A5
The rime on the windows the leafs on your coat
    F5                         C5  
the frost on the cars and the rails
F5
Still out on the ocean those memories are 
            G5
bringing me down
    A5                           E5
but I've heard there's a symphony playing you
                  F5 
to sleep when you drown
  C5
October again and again
