[verse 1]
G7
I was scrapin'  bottom
Gropin' in the dark It takes a crusty punk to really beat
         Abmaj7              Ab6
The mean streets of Medicine Park

     D7
So I shifted left for out of town

       Bb6                    Eb7     Eb6
When I clicked my heels and I doubled down to
[chorus]
      G7
Blues Beach
I'm frying Sizzlin' in the merciful rays
             Cmaj7
And it's the long sad Sunday

                        Gb7+9
Of the early resigned

[verse 2]
  G7
I went to Central Station
To catch the early bus They were gassed and runnin' every which way
       Abmaj7          Ab6
But un happily not for us

D7
  Here comes Trina-the child bride

       Bb6                   Eb7   Eb6
I said hey pretty girl-can I cop a ride to
[chorus]
      G7
Blues Beach
It's rainin' I'm chillin' at the Manatee Bar [bridge]
            Cmaj7
Well it's a stone soul picnic

                        Bm7
For the early resigned
We could rent a paranymphic glider
   Cmaj7
My hypothetical friend

               Fmaj9    B13
  and we could sail     away

         Emaj9      Bb13
'Til the bending    end

[verse 4]
G7
Grab Big Dog a blanket
Angel of my heart Things may get a whole lost worse
       Abmaj7           Ab6
Before suddenly falling apart

D7                       
   Give your roommate Yvonne a ring

              Bb6                    Eb7
'Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull

     Eb6
some strings
[chorus]
         G7
On Blues Beach
I'm dying Freezin' in the merciful rays
             Cmaj7
And it's the long sad Sunday

                        Gb7+9
Of the early resigned
