Drive along the sea

 Far from the city's twitch and smoke

+5/

To a misty beach

That's where my life became a joke

 On the dunes

 On the dunes

  [F#7-9]

(Became a joke on the dunes)

 Where rents are high

 And seabirds cry

 On the dunes

As you spoke you must have known

 It was a kind of homicide

  +5/

I stood and watched my happiness

  Am7addD [Ab7-5] -5

Drift outwards with the tide

 On the dunes

 On the dunes

  [F#7-9]

(Homi cide on the dunes)

 It wasn't fair

  It's brutal there

  +5/

On the dunes

Pretty boats

Sweeping along the shore

  In the faltering light

 Pretty women

 With their lovers by their side

-9 /

It's like an awful dream

  Em7sus4 -9-5

I have most every night

 In the summer all the swells

 Join in the search for sun and sand

For me it's just a joyless place

 Where this loneliness began

O-o-on the dunes
