Band: The Supervillains
Song: Beaches
Album: Grow Yer Own
This is a great song off of the Supervillains? first album, ?Grow Yer Own?. It?s a
easy song. All together it?s four chords: C, F, Fm, and G.
I play the verses with a reggae rhythm (on the upbeat) on the C?s and just strum the
and Fm?s, like they do in the song. The chorus, bridge and solo I play the same, strum the
F?s, and Fm?s and play the C?s on the upbeat.
I?m pretty sure this is spot on. I could be wrong though, the guitar gets droned out
the horns at a few parts, but it think it is 100% correct. But as far as I know it?s the
Supervillains tab out there, so deal with it. And it sounds great on the ukulele!
what I figured the song out on, by the way.)
Intro (Same as the verses):
C ? C ? F ? Fm
C ? C ? F ? Fm
C ? C ? F ? Fm
Verse 1: C ? C ? F ? Fm
[C]Sun's high, so am I. Just another day spent wondering why and
[F]how, we [Fm]get out of town.
[C]High strung and strung out, got a rainy day saved so I'm checking out,
oh[F] yeah.[Fm]
Chorus: G ? F ? C ? C
[(Fm)]Cuz when you don'[G]t have anything,
then you [F]don't have nothing to lo[C]se.
[(C)]When you don't[G] have anything
then you [F]don't have nothing to [C] loooooose.
Insert: C ? C ? F ? Fm
Verse 2: C ? C ? F ? Fm
[C]Moon tide, got the stars outside, it?s a matter of time to rise and shine
oh[F] yeah.[Fm]
[C]But I won't survive with a 9 to 5 want to play till 2 and sleep till noon,
oh[F] yeah.[Fm]
[C]So, who cares what it?s like outside, got a new tattoo and a bottle of wine,
oh[F] yeah.[Fm]
Because[C] today is the day I get to say I'm walking away,
oh[F] yeah.[Fm]
Chorus: G ? F ? C ? C
[(Fm)]Cuz when you don'[G]t have anything,
then you [F]don't have nothing to lo[C]se.
[(C)]When you don't[G] have anything
then you [F]don't have nothing to [C] loooooose.
Bridge: F ? F ? C ? C; F ? F ?
[Fm]
[(C)]Let's Go! Mayb[F]e someday I'll find that magical place where I belong.[C]
[F]Maybe I'm wrong, I've waited way too long because it?s gone, gone, go[Fm]ne.[Fm][Fm]
Fm---------
Whoa whoa whoa
Horn Solo: combo of verse and chorus (same strumming)
C ? C ? F ? Fm
C ? C ? F ? Fm
G ? F ? C ? C
G ? F ? C ? C
Verse 3: C ? C ? F ? Fm
[C] Skies blue, I was too, cuz I wish I was high with you
right[F] now, but [Fm]I'm so far away.
[C] We could smoke a bowl together then maybe sell our souls forever.
I'll [F]do whatever as long as I'm [Fm]with you.
Chorus: G ? F ? C ? C
[(Fm)]Cuz when you don'[G]t have anything,
then you [F]don't have nothing to lo[C]se.
[(C)]When you don't[G] have anything
then you [F]don't have nothing to [C] loooooose.
[(C)]When you don't[G] have anything
then you [F]don't have nothing to [C]lose.
I like to add a little something to the last chorus/outro. I add another line of
same as those above so it goes like this instead:
[(Fm)]Cuz when you don'[G]t have anything,
then you [F]don't have nothing to lo[C]se.
[(C)]When you don't[G] have anything
then you [F]don't have nothing to [C] loooooose.
(C) G F(keep rhythm, one measure)
When you don't have anything........
C Ab(let ring)
then you don't have nothing to lose.
[(C)]When you don't[G] have anything
then you [F]don't have nothing to [C]lose.
You can make the vocals sound pretty cool for the 3rd line in that, and it just adds a
something. That would be MY interpretation, and the chorus above it is the correct way.
You?ll have to practice singing along with the song a few times, because the vocals have
weird rhythm at some parts, but it?s not too bad. If you have any questions or
email me at [email protected].
Good luck, and happy playing.
