D#
The beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
But I see a face coming through the haze
I remember him from those crazy days
Hazy days
Crazy days

C
Aren't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred Faces
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63

F
I've got a good job and I'm newly born
You should see me dressed up in my uniform
I work in hotel all gilt and flash
Remember the gaff where the doors were smashed?

A#  F7  A#
Bell Boy, I got to get running now
Bell Boy, Keep my lip buttoned down
Bell Boy, Carry this baggage out
Bell Boy, Always running at someone's bleedin'

F7  A#                D#7 G#6
Heel  You know how I feel
G#m6                         D#
Always running at someone's heel
Fmaj7                 Cmaj7       D
Some nights I still sleep on the beach,
Fmaj7          Cmaj7         D
Remember when stars were in reach
F
I wander in early to work
G#                                 D#
Spend my day lickin' boots for my perks

A beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
But I see a face coming through the haze
I remember him from those crazy days, crazy days,
crazy days, crazy days

Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred faces
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63

People often change but when I look in your eyes
You can learn a lot from a life like mine
The secret to me, it ain't flown up a flag
I carry it behind this bleeding little badge, what says:

Bell Boy, I gotta get running now
Bell Boy, Keep your lip buttoned down
Bell Boy, Carry the bloody baggage out
Bell Boy, Always running at someone's heel,
You know how I feel, always running at someone's heel
