Beach Haven

C

[Verse]
The wind blows fairly, sit down cold
      Dm
 this morning
        G                          
But the wind and weather aren’t my 
   C
enemy
My enemy is my landlord who won’t 
Dm
board them
          G                        
‘Cause he chose to live his sad 
          C
life separately

[Verse]
So, as pretty as you think you are, 
      Dm
Beach Haven
   G                            C
As pretty as you almost look to me
Your weakly shadowed windows looking
 Dm
 down upon us
         G                         
Could be filled with smiling faces,
           C
 can’t you see?

[Chorus]
And we could shake hands together 
    Dm
and
                 G
Get together and
                  C
Walk together and
C
Talk together and
                  Dm
Sing together and
                   G
Dance together and
                  C
Work together and
C
Play together

[Verse]
This hateful fuel that poisons you 
    Dm
like red, stale, old whiskey
   G                               
It poisons you and then it poisons 
C
me
Tear down these race hate blocks, 
    Dm
rip out this strangling red tape
G                             
Let’s find out what Beach Haven 
        C
could be

[Chorus]
And we could shake hands together 
    Dm
and
                 G
Get together and
                  C
Walk together and
C
Talk together and
                  Dm
Sing together and
                   G
Dance together and
                  C
Work together and
C
Play together

[Instrumental]
C   Dm   G   C

[Verse]
Some woman walks alone against the 
Dm
headwind
G                                  
Her and her man just longing for a 
C
home
All they want is some place they can
 Dm
 raise their kids in
  G                            
A welcome place to finally call 
       C
their own

[Chorus]
And we could shake hands together 
    Dm
and
                 G
Get together and
                  C
Walk together and
C
Talk together and
                  Dm
Sing together and
                   G
Dance together and
                  C
Work together and
C
Play together and
                  Dm
Hold together and
                 G
Live together and
                       C
And march together and
C
Fight together
                              Dm   
Until we lick this crazy, racy hate
          G
 together
                          C       Dm
So what do you say, Beach Haven?
               G           C
Now, open your door, Beach Haven
