A
A
He was just a friend of mine
E
I'd run into from time to time
F#
Long before he moved away
D A
We used to share a taste for wine
E D
Still I never knew that he was sad back then
A D E D A E
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday
A
And he says it's brilliant there
D
There's something in the air
A
And sunshine everywhere
E
He's on the beach
A
I know he's changed somehow
D
It's in his postcards now
A
I'm not sure where he is
E
But he's out of reach
A
When he called me up one day
E
And said that he was going away
F#
I thought he meant a week in France
D A
And not twelve thousand miles to Sydney Bay
E D
Still he had to take his chances
A D E D A E
He said the time had come for him to make a move away
A
And he says it's brilliant there
D
There's something in the air
A
And sunshine everywhere
E
He's on the beach
A
I know he's changed somehow
D
It's in his postcards now
C#m
I'm not sure where he is
E
But he's out of reach
C#m
(my baby gets it on the beach)
F#
And I don't blame him
D E C#m
Leaving was the best thing he could do
F#
He longed for changes
D
I just hope he's happy
E D B
When he does the things he thinks he has to do
And he tries, yes he tries
D A D E
Yes he tries but he's a little bit hard on himself
D A D E
I think he's trying to be someone else
A
And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there
D
There's something in the air
A
And sunshine everywhere
E
He's on the beach
A
I know he's changed somehow
D
It's in his postcards now
C#m
I'm not sure where he is
E
But he's out of reach
A
And he says it's brilliant there
D
There's something in the air
A
And sunshine everywhere
E
He's on the beach
A
I know he's changed somehow
D
He write those postcards now
C#m
He's in Australia
E
So far out of reach
A D A E A . . .
And he says it's brilliant there
