I was scrapin'  bottom  
 
 
Gropin'  in the dark 
 
 
 
It takes a crusty punk to really beat 
 
          Ab                  Ab6 
The mean streets of Medicine Park 
 
      D7 
So I shifted left for out of town 
 
       Gm                       Eb7   Eb6 
Then I clicked my heels and I doubled down to 
 
      G7 
Blues Beach 
 
 
I'm frying 
 
 
Sizzlin' in the merciful rays 
 
             Cmaj7 
And it's the long sad Sunday 
 
                        Gb7/9+

  G7 
I went to Central Station 
 
 
To catch the early bus 
 
 
They were gassed and runnin' every which way 
 
      Ab              Ab6 
But unhappily not for us 
 
D7 
Here comes Trina-the child bride 
 
       Gm                    Eb7   Eb6 
I said hey pretty girl-can I cop a ride to 
 
      G7 
Blues Beach 
 
 
It's rainin' 
 
 
I'm chillin' at the Manatee Bar 
 
            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

G7 
Grab Big Dog a blanket 
 
 
Angel of my heart 
 
 
Things may get a whole lost worse 
 
        Ab                Ab6 
Before suddenly falling apart 
 
D7                        
Give your roommate Yvonne a ring 
 
               Gm                     Eb7 
'Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull 
 
     Eb6 
some strings 
 
          G7 
On Blues Beach 
 
 
I'm dying 
 
 
Freezin' in the merciful rays 
 
             Cmaj7 
And it's the long sad Sunday
