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
