Dan Fogelberg - Reach Haven Postcard
INTRO:  G   C   D     G(3x)  
       Em C G C G
Well, the first breath of Cautumn Dblows through the Gtrees
And the nights are getting Emlong and growing AmcolDder
And the Gmaples are Cturning and the Dfields have gone Embrown
And the Gwaves against the Emshore, make such a Dsad Gsound
Now there's a meal on the Ctable and a Dfire in the Gstove
And a candle burning Embrightly by the AmstairDway
And a Glamp in the Cwindow, that Dshines out to Emsea
And I Gwish so much toEmnight, that you were Dhere with GmeC  G  
Now the moon is in Cdanger of Drunning aGground
As she sweeps the tattered Emclouds above the AmislDand
And the Gstars lay like Cdiamonds on the Dbreast of the Emsea
And I Gwonder where you Emare and if you're Dthinking of Gme
CHORUS:
Now I've Emgrown so acGcustomed to Chaving you Dnear
And I Emmiss you so Gmadly when Cyou are not Ahere
When I Cthink how you Glove me, oh, it Cbrings me to Atears
And I Gwish so much toEmnight, that you were Dhere with Gme
Oh, I Emwish so much tonight, that you were Dhere with Gme
INSTRUMENTAL:   G   C    G   C   D    G   C    G   Em   C   G   C  G  
Well I dropped you a Cpostcard, toDday in the Gmail
With a picture of a Emsailing ship uAmpon Dit
And I Gtried to say Csomething that was Dclever and Emclear
But the Gonly thing I Emwrote, was that, "I wDish you were Ghere"
CHORUS:
Now I've Emgrown so acGcustomed to Chaving you Dnear
And I Emmiss you so Gmadly when Cyou are not Ahere
When I Cthink how you Glove me, oh, it Cbrings me to Atears
And I Gwish so much toEmnight, that you were Dhere with Gme
Oh, I Emwish so much tonight, that you were Dhere with Gme

Dan Fogelberg - Reach Haven Postcard

G C D G

INTRO: (3x)

Em C G C G

C D G

Well, the first breath of autumn blows through the trees

Em Am D

And the nights are getting long and growing colder

G C D Em

And the maples are turning and the fields have gone brown

G Em D G

And the waves against the shore, make such a sad sound

C D G

Now there's a meal on the table and a fire in the stove

Em Am D

And a candle burning brightly by the stairway

G C D Em

And a lamp in the window, that shines out to sea

G Em D G C G

And I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

C D G

Now the moon is in danger of running aground

Em Am D

As she sweeps the tattered clouds above the island

G C D Em

And the stars lay like diamonds on the breast of the sea

G Em D G

And I wonder where you are and if you're thinking of me

CHORUS:

Em G C D

Now I've grown so accustomed to having you near

Em G C A

And I miss you so madly when you are not here

C G C A

When I think how you love me, oh, it brings me to tears

G Em D G

And I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

Em D G

Oh, I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

G C G C D G C G Em C G C G

INSTRUMENTAL:

C D G

Well I dropped you a postcard, today in the mail

Em Am D

With a picture of a sailing ship upon it

G C D Em

And I tried to say something that was clever and clear

G Em D G

But the only thing I wrote, was that, "I wish you were here"

CHORUS:

Em G C D

Now I've grown so accustomed to having you near

Em G C A

And I miss you so madly when you are not here

C G C A

When I think how you love me, oh, it brings me to tears

G Em D G

And I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

Em D G

Oh, I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me
