Monkey Beach

A Em7 A Am7
The Muka lighthouse is calling me
Gm7 Am7 Eb Bb
To climb the steep trail to its top
But after a restless night with bruised knees
All I can do is sit, try to stop

Cm Gm Cm D7
The mosquitos drinking my Western blood,
Gm F D7
Drink coffee and smoke, talk to the kids,
G Dm Eb Bb
Watch the boats arrive as the tide floods;
Gm Cm Gm D7
Listen to the waves and try to be rid

Of the memories and worries in my mind.
Two kittens whose lives hang by a whisker thread
Are playing and fighting without a care to blind
Their vision of perfection inside their heads

This place is derelict, everything broken and torn;
No tourists are allowed on its white sands.
Just crabs, lizards, monkeys can salute the dawn
As the jungle devours all traces of man’s hand.
