+9+5 /
+9+5 /
Cmaj13 -9-5
Drive along the sea
Far from the city's twitch and smoke
+5/
To a misty beach
Am7addD -5
That's where my life became a joke
On the dunes
On the dunes
(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 -5
Drift outwards with the tide
On the dunes
On the dunes
(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
+5/
For me it's just a joyless place
Where this loneliness began
-5 G13sus4 G13sus4 /
O-o-on the dunes
On the dunes
-9+5
(Loneli ness on the dunes)
I'm pretty tough
But the wind is rough
+5/ /6
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
+5/
For me it's just a joyless place
Where this loneliness began
-5 G13sus4 G13sus4 /
On the dunes aah ha
On the dunes
-9+5
(Loneli ness on the dunes)
pretty tough
But the wind is rough
+5/ /6
On the dunes ohh on the dunes
+9+5 /
+9+5 /
