[G] It was hard enough [D] to climb upon, [A] [G] it was slow [D] going at first.
[G] Sister, you have laid [D] long in the sun, [G] aren't you dying [D] of thirst?
[G] Oh my dear, your [D] tears can be strife, [G] and your legs are [D] long and slim.
[G] If I whisper [D] nothing's in your ear, [G] you'll use less than [D] one tear.
[Em] You have laid here [F#m] by the water side since [Am] the day we [C] came to town.
[G] [D]
[E] [G] [D]
[G] Have you thought that you [D] could waste away?
[G] You don't care much for [D] yourself.
There [G] are circles [D] deep beneath your eyes, [G] why do you do this [D] to yourself?
[G] If you like, we two [D] could take a ride, [G] I would love to take [D] you down.
[G] We could watch your blue [D] hair run and fly, we [G] could see the sights [D] in town.
[Em] You have laid here [F#m] by the water side, [Am] you have let the [C] family down.
[G] [D]
[E] [D]
[G] Cold and pretty drain, [D] waste this boat, [G] watch me frolic [D] in the sand.
[G] Oh, did you see [D] me in the surf [G] with a starfish [D] in my hand?
[G] Soon restaurants [D] will open up, [G] and soon bars will light [D] their lights.
[E] You have aged, you [D] must start looking up, [G] as ugly things will [D] come tonight.
[Em] We could drive down [F#m] to another beach, [Am] even tan your [C] skin seems white.
[G] [Em]
All our friends have [F#m] gone away from here, [Am] so let's disappear [C] from sight.
