Beach Haven

C

[Verse]
                                          Dm
The wind blows fairly, sit down cold this morning
        G                             C
But the wind and weather aren’t my enemy
                                  Dm
My enemy is my landlord who won’t board them
          G                                  C
‘Cause he chose to live his sad life separately

[Verse]
                                          Dm
So, as pretty as you think you are, Beach Haven
   G                            C
As pretty as you almost look to me
                                     Dm
Your weakly shadowed windows looking down upon us
         G                                    C
Could be filled with smiling faces, can’t you see?

[Chorus]
                                      Dm
And we could shake hands together and
                 G
Get together and
                  C
Walk together and
C
Talk together and
                  Dm
Sing together and
                   G
Dance together and
                  C
Work together and
C
Play together

[Verse]
                                       Dm
This hateful fuel that poisons you like red, stale, old whiskey
   G                               C
It poisons you and then it poisons me
                                      Dm
Tear down these race hate blocks, rip out this strangling red tape
G                                     C
Let’s find out what Beach Haven could be

[Chorus]
                                      Dm
And we could shake hands together and
                 G
Get together and
                  C
Walk together and
C
Talk together and
                  Dm
Sing together and
                   G
Dance together and
                  C
Work together and
C
Play together

[Instrumental]
C   Dm   G   C

[Verse]
                                   Dm
Some woman walks alone against the headwind
G                                  C
Her and her man just longing for a home
                                     Dm
All they want is some place they can raise their kids in
  G                                   C
A welcome place to finally call their own

[Chorus]
                                      Dm
And we could shake hands together and
                 G
Get together and
                  C
Walk together and
C
Talk together and
                  Dm
Sing together and
                   G
Dance together and
                  C
Work together and
C
Play together and
                  Dm
Hold together and
                 G
Live together and
                       C
And march together and
C
Fight together
                              Dm             G
Until we lick this crazy, racy hate together
                          C       Dm
So what do you say, Beach Haven?
               G           C
Now, open your door, Beach Haven
