"He's On The Beach"
As recorded by: The Lemonheads (B-side to "Big Gay Heart")
Chords by: Aaron Williams
C G
He was just a friend of mine, I'd run into from time to time
Am F
Long before he moved away, we use to share a drink of wine.
C G F
Still I never knew that he was sad that way
C F G F C G
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday
{Chorus}:
C F
And he says its brilliant there, there's something in the air,
C G
and sunshine everywhere. He's on the beach.
C F
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
C G
I'm not sure where he is, but he's out of reach.
C G
When he called me up one day and said that he was going away,
Am F
I thought he meant a week in France, and not 12,000 miles in Sydney Bay.
C G F
Still he had to take his chances.
C F G F C G
He said the time had come for him to make a move away.
{Chorus}:
C F
And he says its brilliant there, there's something in the air,
C G
and sunshine everywhere. He's on the beach.
C F
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
C G
He's on his own again, and he's out of reach.
{Bridge}:
And I don't blame him. Leaving was the best thing he could do.
He longed for changes, I just hope he's happy,
when he does the things he thinks he has to do.
And he tries, and tries, and tries, but he's lived at home (?)
I think he's trying to be someone else, and he says, he says, he says,
C F
it's really unfair...there's something in the air,
C G
and sunshine everywhere. He's on the beach.
C F
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
C G
He's in Australia, so far out of reach.
C F C G
And he says it's pretty(?) there.
C F C G progression to end...
