Standard (EADGBE)

 There are windows on the water lighting up the silver strand

 Shining on the sea, shining on the sea

 And the ocean's just a player on an old piano

 Who repeats one melody, repeats one melody

Chorus

I belong on the shore hustlin' nickels and dimes

 'Cause it ain't long before it's gone

You might as well have a good time

Well, the elbows of his jacket are blue and shiny

He's drunk and gone to seed, he's drunk and gone to seed

And he mumbles as he plays the only song he knows

It's the only song he needs, the only song he needs

Chorus

All his restless music don't mean a damn thing to me

The shallow or the deep, said, the shallow or the deep

And if you're free this evening we'll go out together

And party 'till we sleep I said, party 'till we sleep

Chorus
