a5....... f#4 f#
Drive along the sea
Far from the city's twitch and smoke
To a misty beach
That's where my life became a joke
s/dus4
On the dunes
On the dunes
(Became a joke on the dunes)
d5 b f#
Where rents are high
And seabirds cry
e4 d f a g f#
On the dunes
As you spoke you must have known
It was a kind of homicide
I stood and watched my happiness
Drift outwards with the tide
su/dus4
On the dunes
On the dunes
(Homi cide on the dunes)
g2 f# e
It wasn't fair
It's brutal there
On the dunes
Pretty boats
D7 D7/F# d/eb
Sweeping along the shore
d4 e f# g f f# e
j7
In the faltering light
Pretty women
(maj7-5) /b
With their lovers by their side
It's like an awful dream
I have most every night
In the summer all the swells
Join in the search for sun and sand
For me it's just a joyless place
Where this loneliness began
-5 su/dus4
O-o-on the dunes
On the dunes
(Loneli ness on the dunes)
I'm pretty tough
But the wind is rough
On the dunes
Pretty boats
D7 D7/F# d/eb
Sweeping along the shore
d4 e f# g f f# e
j7
In the faltering light
Pretty women
(maj7-5) /b
With their lovers by their side
It's like an awful dream
I have most every night
In the summer all the swells
Join in the search for sun and sand
For me it's just a joyless place
Where this loneliness began
On the dunes aah ha
On the dunes
(Loneli ness on the dunes)
pretty tough
But the wind is rough
On the dunes ohh on the dunes
