 We met one summer evening

       C       F/C   C     F/C
As the sun was going down

        C     F/C    C     F/C
She was lying on the beach

       C    F/C   C     F/C
In her graduation gown

F7       Bb/F            F7      Bb/F
 She was wrapped up in a blanket

F7        Bb/F     F7            Bb/F
 (I could tell she knew her way around)

 You know she never made a sound

C   F/C      C       F/C
 On down the beach

C         F/C            C     F/C
 Came the beach-cleaning man

C        F/C C      F/C
 Scoopin' up paper

C          F/C           C     F/C
 And flattening down the sand

F7      Bb/F F7  Bb/F F7  Bb/F F7            Bb/F [ C ]
 "Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda ... we've got to run away

G7           C/G         G7       C/G
 That big white truck is closin' in

     And we'll get wounded if we stay"

 Now Lucinda lies buried

 'Neath the California sand

C    F/C  C F/C
 Put under

      C      F/C      C F/C
By the beach-cleaning man

They sent her to low school
G7 N.C. [ C ] She just wouldn't go no further [Outro]
