[Verse]
F Am F C
On a day just like this on the ocean, four years ago now.
F Am F C
The wind was too strong, the waves were too big, three young men were thrown of the bow
Gm F G7
And I was at home when they were fighting towards mother earth
Am Em Fsus4 F
And two of them died only twenty years after their birth
C
In October, oh
[Verse]
F Am F C
And the last of the three was left hopelessly crying for help
F Am F C
The wind was screaming but the silence was stronger as he stood with his feet in the kelp
Gm F G7
The sun was still up, but it was night time when I heard who died
Am Em Fsus4 F
I only knew Eric 'cause one time he gave me a ride
C
In October, oh
[Verse]
F Am F C
Now, I didn't know him well, but I liked him, he was one of those guys
F Am F C
That everyone knew either liked him or not, 'cause there were no sign of lies in his eyes
Gm F G7
I was seventeen years old the last time he spoke to me
Am Em Fsus4 F
Now I'm twenty one and I'm older than he'll ever be
C
In October, oh
[Verse]
F Am F C
My father is his mothers cousin, so that makes us kin
F Am F C
I remember those family dinners, and the old peoples funerals again and again
Gm F G7
So strange looking 'round in the crowd when he wouldn't be found
Am Em Fsus4 F
Oh, the look on the face of his brother when they lowered him down
C
In October, oh
[Verse]
F Am F C
October is the best, turns roads into beautiful trails
F Am F C
The rime on the windows, the leafs on your coat, the frost on the cars and the rails
Gm F G7
Still, out on the ocean, those memories are bringing me down
Am Em Fsus4 F
But I've heard there's a symphony playing you to sleep when you drown
C
October, again and again
