[verse 1]
G7
I was scrapin'  bottom
Gropin'  in the dark
It takes a crusty punk to really beat
         Abmaj7              Ab6
The mean streets of Medicine Park
     D7
So I shifted left for out of town
       Bb6                    Eb7     Eb6
When I clicked my heels and I doubled down to
[chorus]

Blues Beach
I'm frying
Sizzlin' in the merciful rays

  G7
I went to Central Station
To catch the early bus
They were gassed and runnin' every which way
       Abmaj7          Ab6
But un happily not for us
D7
  Here comes Trina-the child bride
       Bb6                   Eb7   Eb6
I said hey pretty girl-can I cop a ride to

            Cmaj7
Well it's a stone soul picnic
                        Bm7
For the early resigned
We could rent a paranymphic glider
   Cmaj7
My hypothetical friend
               Fmaj9    B13
  and we could sail     away
         Emaj9      Bb13

Grab Big Dog a blanket
Angel of my heart
Things may get a whole lost worse
       Abmaj7           Ab6
Before suddenly falling apart
D7
   Give your roommate Yvonne a ring
              Bb6                    Eb7
'Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull

some strings

I'm dying
Freezin' in the merciful rays
