Hes On The Beach chords by Kirsty Maccoll

Chords with lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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