Transcribed by Jason Hannan
capo 2
Intro: D F#m G A D
1st verse
You say the [D]weather in Atlanta is foggy and gray
[F#m]your work gets harder every day
and your [G]new boyfriend is [F#m]holdin’ on too [D]tight
I’ve got a [D]gig at the beach, a room with a view
the [F#m]only thing missin’ here is you
some [G]fresh ocean [F#m]breeze might ease your [D]mind
chorus
We could [G]walk barefoot through the [F#m]warm wet sand
take a [D]second look at [A]what we had
[F#m]I’ve been thinkin’ a [D]lot since I’ve been [F#m]here
past the [G]neon lights and the [F#m]L.A. haze
[D]I’m a different [G]man these days
[F#m]so come on [E]out, the coast is [D]clear
2nd verse
I’ve got a [D]picture in my wallet from back in ‘91
the [F#m]week we spent in the Santa Belle sun
[G]ridin’ the wave of our [F#m]love those were good [D]times
but [D]somewhere I got lost and let you down
[F#m]young and naive I didn’t know what I found
but [G]I do now and there [F#m]ain’t a cloud in my [D]mind
repeat chorus
Repeat intro
End
This was a very difficult song to transcribe for some reason.
Corrections are welcome.
