"He's On The Beach" 

As recorded by: The Lemonheads (B-side to "Big Gay Heart")

Chords by: Aaron Williams <williams@knuth.mtsu.edu>


             
He was just a 

              
friend of mine

   
,  I'd run int

o from time to

 time
            
Long before he

             
 moved away, w

e use to share

 a drink of wi

ne.
             
Still I never 

             
knew that he w

            
as sad that wa

y
            
He said the ti

             
me had come fo

             
r him to take 

     
a holiday


{Chorus}:
              
And he says it

             
s brilliant th

              
ere, there's s

         
omething in th

e air,
             
and sunshine e

              
verywhere.  He

          
's on the beac

h.
             
I know he's ch

              
anged somehow,

             
 it's in his p

ostcards now
             
I'm not sure w

              
here he is, bu

              
t he's out of 


reach.


             
When he called

              
 me up one day

     
 and said that

 he was going 

away,
            
I thought he m

              
eant a week in

              
 France, and n

   
ot 12,000 mile

s in Sydney Ba

y.
             
Still he had t

          
o take his cha

nces.
            
He said the ti

             
me had come fo

             
r him to make 

      
a move away.


{Chorus}:
              
And he says it

             
s brilliant th

              
ere, there's s

         
omething in th

e air,
             
and sunshine e

              
verywhere.  He

          
's on the beac

h.
             
I know he's ch

              
anged somehow,

             
 it's in his p

ostcards now
             
He's on his ow

              
n again, and h

           
e's out of rea

ch.


{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,


             
it's really un

              
fair...there's

           
 something in 

the air,
             
and sunshine e

              
verywhere.  He

          
's on the beac

h.
             
I know he's ch

              
anged somehow,

             
 it's in his p

ostcards now
             
He's in Austra

              
lia, so far ou

     
t of reach.
             
And he says it

              
's pretty(?) t

                  
here.
