On the dunes


As you spoke you must have known

         G9
It was a kind of homicide

  Bm7                  Abmaj7+5/Bb
I stood and watched my happiness

      Am7addD           Ab7-5   Ab13-5

            Gm(maj7-5)     Bm7
With their lovers by their side

It's like an   awful dream

            Em    D/G   G/A    A13-9-5
I have most every night

       Dmaj9
In the summer all the swells

            G9
Join in the search for sun and sand

    Bm7            Abmaj7+5/Bb
For me it's just a joyless place

           Am7addD    Am7/D
Where this loneliness began
