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
