He's on the Beach by Kirsty MacColl
C G
He was just a friend of mine I'd run into from time to time
Am F C
And long before he moved away we used to share a taste for wine
G F
Still I never knew that he was sad that's when
C F G F C G
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday.
CHORUS:
C
And he says its brilliant there
F
There's something in the air
C
And sunshine everywhere
G
He's on the beach
C
I know he's changed somehow
F
He writes us postcards now
C
I'm not sure where he is
G
He's out of reach
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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MACCOLL KRISTY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
