    A 
The crowded future stings my eyes 
  G 
I still find time to exercise 
   B                               D C# 
In uniform with two white stripes 
  

  A 
Unlock my section of the sand 
     G 
It's fenced off to the water's edge 
  B 
I clamp a gasmask on my head 
D     C#       A 
On my beach at night 
D        C#     E 
Bathe in my moonlight 
  
  
(riff 2) 
  
  
Another tanker's hit the rocks 
Abandoned to spill out its guts 
The sand is laced with sticky glops 
  
O'shimmering moonlight sheen upon 
The waves and water clogged with oil 
White gassed steam up from the soil 
On my beach at night 
Bathe in my moonlight 
  
(riff 2)

(switch to chords) 
  
D C# A    D C# E 
  
  
I squash dead fish between my toes 

Try not to step on any bones 

I turn around and I go home 
  
I slip back through my basement door 

Switch off all the I own below 

Dive in my scalding wooden tub 

My own beach ar night 

Bathe in my moonlight

----------------------------------------------------------------- 
As always, corrections are welcome. Longer looking bars have  
two-digit frets but are (probably) of same length as the rest. 
Just listen to the record if you're not certain about the rhythm.
