The Beach
Jonathan Richman

E                                A              E
Well now the beach be one of the best things we got
                              A                      B
?Cause it?s not what you have on, it?s what you have not
A             B                C#m                  B
No more silly clothes for you, no more shoes no necktie too
        A                   B                   E
And the beach be one of the best things that we got

E                                A                 E
Well now the beach be one of the best things there be
                       A                 B
Well a fashion show is there for you  to see
A                 B 
See whose bum you like the best
C#m             B

        A                   B                   E
And the beach be one of the best things there be

O.K. start up the car
E                 A        E
Riminima Riminima Riminima Rim
E                              A       E
We?re goin? to the beach - get started yeah
E                 A        E
Riminima Riminima Riminima Rim
E                            B        C
We?re goin? to the beach get started

(Each additional verse - move 1/2 step up the neck)

I say the beach be one of the best places to go
I say the beach be one of the best things that I know
Cruddy sugar lemonade
But I love people when they?re on parade
And the beach be one of the best things that I know

O.K. start up the car
Riminima Riminima Riminima Rim
We?re goin? to the beach - get start yeah
Riminima Riminima Riminima Rim
We?re goin? to the beach get started

I said the beach be one of the best things we got
Where it?s not what you have on but what you have not
And I want that stink and I want that sweat
In fact the beach be better than most things get

In fact the beach be one of the best things we got
Where it?s not what you have on but what you have not

Cruddy sugar lemonade 
but I love people when they?re on parade
And the beach be one of the best things we got
Where it?s not what you have on it?s what you have not
