Down The Beach chords by Nicki Bluhm

Intro:

G C G D G

Verse 1:

         G
When the sun shines on the rooftop
      C               G
Of my hometown by the sea
            C        Bm             Am  C
It seems creation is smiled down on me, mhm



         Em                D
When the fog flows, or the sand blows
         C                G
Wears my soul down by the breeze
         C                  Bm                D
I must admit there are some places I'd rather be

Chorus:

D         C
Down the beach,
G
Always I am wanting what is out of my reach
D        C
Down the beach,
    G       D        G
I'm looking down the beach

Bridge:

Em
I always thought I knew what it meant
           D              Am
To feel contentment, as I grow
          Em
But as I look back on my life standing
            D                         Am
I find that restlessness is all I've known

G C G D G

Verse 2:

         G                 G
When the man says, "get in line gal,"
      C             G
All I want is to be free
         C               Bm              Am    C
Upon the mesa, where the hawk flies over me, mhm
           Em            D
But in the city, all the faces
        C                 G
Swirl around me, like the sea
       C                        Bm                       D
And my good friend who walked beside me, where could he be?

Chorus:
         C
Down the beach
G                                     D
Always I am wanting what is out of my reach
         C
Down the beach
      G                                           D
Can I learn to see my obstacles for what they can teach?
         C
Down the beach
     G       D        G
 I'm looking down the beach
