Hey there guitar buddies, let's have a look at Chris Rea on the beach.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So it starts with a little muted guitar lick.
So I'm just playing C, Eb, [Cm] C, _ _ _ _ _ 10, [N] 8, 10 and then two F's on 10. _
So on the D string 10, G string 8, D string 10, _ _ then two [F] 10's on the G string.
_ _ [B] C, Eb, [F] C, F, F. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [F] _ With a little slide to that C, [N] that first note.
Okay and then over that I've [Cm] got_
_ [B] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [B] _
_ _ So I'm playing the [C] C, a little slide to a C on 13. _ _ _ _
Then Eb on 16 _ of the B string.
_ _ [B] _ _
Two more _ Eb's, [D] C again, _ then F on the D string on 15.

the chords played under that when _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
the
_ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So _ _ [C] _ this chord just [Fm] go around and that's an F minor 7, _ _ _ D flat major 7, _ _ [C] _ _ C7. _
And on the last time rather than play a C7 we just hold on a _ _ _ nice jazzy chord.
_ _ _ [E] Okay before the song changes into the verse we've got _ [C] C7 flat sharp 5.
So it's sharp 5. _
So C, B [Fm] flat, E natural and then a G sharp.
That's our sharp [C] 5. _
_ _ Very jazzy. _ _
Okay.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ Okay and [Fm] then we're into the first chords and the chords play twice around before the verse
kicks in.
So it's a similar chord sequence.
This time we're going F minor 7 [G] _ _ [C] and _ _ [G] then _ G minor
flat 5, G minor 7 flat 5.
[C] Then our _ C7 sharp 5.
[Fm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
