Kirsty Maccoll - Hes On The Beach chords

B F# B F#
B
He was just a friend of mine
    F#
I'd run into from time to time
 G#m
Long before he moved away
    E                         B
We used to share a taste for wine
               F#                       E
Still I never knew that he was sad back then
    B       E       F#             E     B  F#
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday

                  B
And he says it's brilliant there
                  E
There's something in the air
               B
And sunshine everywhere
             F#
He's on the beach
             B
I know he's changed somehow
                E
He sends those postcards now
              B
I'm not sure where he is
                 F#
but he's out of reach

 B
When he called me up one day
     F#
And said that he was going away
    G#m
I thought he meant a week in France
     E                                  B
And not twelve thousand miles to Sydney Bay
                 F#              E
Still he had to take his chances
    B       E       F#             E     B   F#
He said the time had come for him to make a move away

                  B
And he says it's brilliant there
                   E
There's something in the air
              B
And sunshine everywhere
             F#
He's on the beach
             B
I know he's changed somehow
                 E
He writes those postcards now
             D#
He's on his own again
                 B
And he's out of reach
                         D#
(my baby gets it on the beach)

             G#m
And I don't blame him
 E             F#                 D#
Leaving was the best thing he could do
                G#m
He longed for changes
E
I just hope he's happy
         F#                 E             C#
When he does the things he thinks he has to do

And he tries, and he tries
                                   E       B   E F#
Yes he tries but he's a little bit hard on himself
              E                  B  E F#
Somehow he's trying to be someone else

                                   B
And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there
                  E
There's something in the air
              B
And sunshine everywhere
             B
He's on the beach
              B
I know he's changed somehow
               E
It's in his postcards now
             D#
He's on his own again
               F#
So far out of reach

                  B
And he says it's brilliant there
                  E
There's something in the air
              B
And sunshine everywhere
             F#
He's on the beach
             B
I know he's changed somehow
             E
It's in his postcards now
            D#
He's in Australia
               F#
So far out of reach
                   B             E B A F#  ...
And he says it's brilliant there
