    A
The crowded future stings my eyes
  G
I still find time to exercise
   B                               D C#
In uniform with two white stripes
 
  A
Unlock my section of the sand
     G
It's fenced off to the water's edge
  B
I clamp a gasmask on my head
D     C#       A
Оn my beach at night
D        C#     E
Bathe in my moonlight
 
 
(riff 2)
 
 
Another tanker's hit the rocks
Abandoned to spill out its guts
The sand is laced with sticky glops
 
О'shimmering moonlight sheen upon
The waves and water clogged with oil
White gassed steam up from the soil
Оn my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
 
(riff 2)

D C# A    D C# E
 
 
I squash dead fish between my toes
Try not to step on any bones
I turn around and I go home
 
I slip back through my basement door
Switch off all the I own below
Dive in my scalding wooden tub
My own beach ar night
Bathe in my moonlight

As always, corrections are welcome. Longer looking bars have 
two-digit frets but are (probably) of same length as the rest.
Just listen to the record if you're not certain about the rhythm.
