  E
Standing on the beach
                  F
With a gun in my hand
  E
Staring at the sea
                F
Staring at the sand
  E
Staring down the barrel
                     F
At the Arab on the ground
        E
I can see his open mouth
               F
But I hear no sound

Chorus:
     Am  A#m
I'm alive
     Am  A#m
I'm dead
           E
I'm the stranger
 F         E   F
Killing an Arab

I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing

Chorus

I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
(The dead man on the beach)

Chorus
