Introduction:

   C                                                 Am                 F 
On a day just like this on the ocean four years
         C 
ago now
           C                                         Am 
The wind was to strong the waves were to big
                         F                                           C 
three young men were thrown of the bow
         F7M 
and I was at home they were fighting towards
               G7 
mother earth
         Am7                                     Em7 
and two of them died only twenty years after
             F 
their birth
           C 
in october oh
               C                                                   Am 
And the last of the three was left hopelessly
 F                   C 
crying for help
             C                                                 Am 
The wind was screaming but the silence was
                                 F                                                   C 
stronger as he stood with his feet in the kelp
 F7M 
The sun was still up but it was night time when
                         G7 
I heard who died
     Am7                                     Em7 
I only knew eric cause one time he gave me a
 F 
ride
           C 
in october oh
 C                                                               Am 
Now I didn't know him well but I liked him he
         F                         C 
was one of those guys
             C                                       Am 
that everyone knew either liked him or not
                                   F                                             C 
cause there were no sign of lies in his eyes
 F7M 
I was seventeen years old the last time he
                 G7 
spoke to me
 Am7                                               Em7 
Now I'm twenty one and I'm older than he'll
           F 
ever be
           C 
in october oh
       C                                         Am                 F 
My father is his mothers cousin so that makes
       C 
us kin
     C                                           Am 
I remember those family dinners and the old
                 F                                     C 
peoples funerals again and again
 F7M 
so strange looking round in the crowd when he
                         G7 
wouldn't be found
 Am7                                                       Em7 
oh the look on the face of his brother when
                                   C 
they lowered him down
           C 
in october oh
     C                                             Am                   F 
October is the best turns roads into beautiful
   C 
trails
         C                                               Am 
The rime on the windows the leafs on your coat
         F                                                 C 
the frost on the cars and the rails
 F7M 
Still out on the ocean those memories are
                         G7 
bringing me down
         Am7                                                     Em7 
but I've heard there's a symphony playing you
                                     F 
to sleep when you drown
     C 
October again and again
