The Beach

Am                     Em
Millions of mega-tons, the power of 
a thousand suns
Am                             Em
Fallout sky for years to come, a 
pyroclastic grave.
Am                             Em
We beached the boat when it ran dry,
 we pleaded with each other, why?
Am                             Em
And in our hearts we wished we’d 
died before we climbed aboard

Am                               
Well I know it is a weak defence, a 
Em
lifetime of indifference
Am                               
Paid the tax and stalled the rent, I
Em
 didn’t rock the boat.
Am                              
I Ignored the pilgrim suicides, 
Em
their human bombs a rising tide

Am                              
With sanctions failed and trident

fired they finally came for me


Bm                             Em
Whispered tales of creed and 
     Bm                     Em
flag, nowhere to ship home the body 
bags
             C                     
Go pay the ferryman and leave their
 G                   D*
 tags rusting on the shore

Am                    C
I’m on the run my MP3 downloads 
global catastrophe
  G                                
Like strangelove’s darkest fantasy,
 Am
 warheads filled the sky
Now a refugee on a Russian sub, a 
 C
deal struck with little Odessan 
thugs
     G                             
How right they were to call us mugs
         Am*
 as they waved us out to sea.

(the rest follows the same chords)

After 30 days of poisoned flood, the
 engines cracked the diesels mud
Biblical tide of sweat and blood we 
ran the boat aground
And fighting with each other, why?
 regretting more we’d never trie
in our hearts we’d already died 
before we hit the beach
