The Beach Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

AmMillions of mega-tons, Emthe power of a thousand suns

AmFallout sky for years to come, Ema pyroclastic grave.

AmWe beached the boat when it ranEm dry, we pleaded with each other, why?

AmAnd in our hearts we wished we’Emd died before we climbed aboard

AmWell I know it is a weak defence,Em a lifetime of indifference

AmPaid the tax and stalled the rentEm, I didn’t rock the boat.

AmI Ignored the pilgrim suicides, Emtheir human bombs a rising tide

AmWith sanctions failed and tridenEmt fired they finally came for me

BmWhispered tales of creed and flEmag, nowBmhere to ship home the bEmody bags

 Go pay the feCrryman and leave their Gtags rusting on the Dshore

AmI’m on the run my MP3 Cdownloads global catastrophe

 LiGke strangelove’s darkest fantasy, Amwarheads filled the sky

 Now a refugee on a Russian sub, a dCeal struck with little Odessan thugs

 How rGight they were to call us mugs as they Amwaved us out to sea.

(the rest follows the same chords)

After 30 days of poisoned flood, the engines cracked the diesels mud

Biblical tide of sweat and blood we ran the boat aground

And fighting with each other, why?

regretting more we’d never trie

in our hearts we’d already died before we hit the beach

Whispered tales
