Band: The Supervillains
Song: Beaches
Album: Grow Yer Own
This is a great song off of the Supervillains’ first album, “Grow Yer Own”. It’s a
easy song. All together it’s four chords: C, F, Fm, and G.
I play the verses with a reggae rhythm (on the upbeat) on the C’s and just strum the
and Fm’s, like they do in the song. The chorus, bridge and solo I play the same, strum the
F’s, and Fm’s and play the C’s on the upbeat.
I’m pretty sure this is spot on. I could be wrong though, the guitar gets droned out
the horns at a few parts, but it think it is 100% correct. But as far as I know it’s the
Supervillains tab out there, so deal with it. And it sounds great on the ukulele!
what I figured the song out on, by the way.)

Verse 1: – – –
Sun's high, so am I. Just another day spent wondering why and
how, we get out of town.
High strung and strung out, got a rainy day saved so I'm checking out,
oh yeah.
Chorus: – – –

Cuz when you don't have anything,
then you don't have nothing to lose.

When you don't have anything

Verse 2: – – –
Moon tide, got the stars outside, it’s a matter of time to rise and shine
oh yeah.
But I won't survive with a 9 to 5 want to play till 2 and sleep till noon,
oh yeah.
So, who cares what it’s like outside, got a new tattoo and a bottle of wine,
oh yeah.
Because today is the day I get to say I'm walking away,
oh yeah.

Let's Go! Maybe someday I'll find that magical place where I belong.
Maybe I'm wrong, I've waited way too long because it’s gone, gone, gone.

Verse 3: – – –
Skies blue, I was too, cuz I wish I was high with you

We could smoke a bowl together then maybe sell our souls forever.
I'll do whatever as long as I'm with you.

*I like to add a little something to the last chorus/outro. I add another line of

You can make the vocals sound pretty cool for the 3rd line in that, and it just adds a
something. That would be MY interpretation, and the chorus above it is the correct way.
You’ll have to practice singing along with the song a few times, because the vocals have
weird rhythm at some parts, but it’s not too bad. If you have any questions or
Good luck, and happy playing.
