On The Beach Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CHe was just a friend of mine I'dG run into from time to time

 And Amlong before he moved away weF used to share a taste fCor wine

 Still I never knGew that he was sad that'Fs when

 He sCaid the tFime had cGome for him to Ftake a hoCliGday.

Chorus

 And he says its Cbrilliant there

 There's something Fin the air

 And sunshine Ceverywhere

 He's on the bGeach

 I know he's chCanged somehow

 He writes us Fpostcards now

 I'm not sure wheCre he is

 He's out of Greach

When he called me up one day and said that he was going away

I thought he meant a week in france and not ten thousand miles to Sydney bay

Still he had to take his chances

He said the time had come for him to make a move away

Chorus

And he says its brilliant there

There's something in the air

And sunshine everywhere

He's on the beach

I know he's changed somehow

He writes us postcards now

I'm not sure where he is

He's on the beach

And I dont blame him

Leaving was the best thing he could do

With all the changes

I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do

And he tries. And he tries. And he tries so hard but all by himself

Somehow he's trying to be someone else

And he says, he says, he says its brilliant there

There's something in the air

And sunshine everywhere

He's on the beach

I know he's changed somehow

He's in Australia

And he's on the beach

And he says its brilliant there
