Eliza Gilkyson – Beach Haven (Guitar)

                                          Dm
The wind blows fairly, sit down cold this morning

        G                             C
But the wind and weather aren’t my enemy

                                  Dm
My enemy is my landlord who won’t board them

          G                                  C
‘Cause he chose to live his sad life separately

                                          Dm
So, as pretty as you think you are, Beach Haven

   G                            C
As pretty as you almost look to me

                                     Dm
Your weakly shadowed windows looking down upon us

         G                                    C
Could be filled with smiling faces, can’t you see?

                                      Dm
And we could shake hands together 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

                                       Dm
This hateful fuel that poisons you like red, stale, old whiskey

   G                               C
It poisons you and then it poisons me

                                      Dm
Tear down these race hate blocks, rip out this strangling red tape

G                                     C
Let’s find out what Beach Haven could be

                                      Dm
And we could shake hands together 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

                                   Dm
Some woman walks alone against the headwind

G                                  C
Her and her man just longing for a home

                                     Dm
All they want is some place they can raise their kids in

  G                                   C
A welcome place to finally call their own

                                      Dm
And we could shake hands together 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             G
Until we lick this crazy, racy hate together

                          C       Dm
So what do you say, Beach Haven?

               G           C
Now, open your door, Beach Haven
