A boy met a girl on a lonely beach and soon

they were holding hands.

They fell in love on that lonely beach and kissed 
       A      D
on the silver sand.

They returned to the beach whenever they could
                     A        D
and stayed until the moon was bright.

And once they were swimming where the water was 
D                      A         D     Bb
deep and the white fin came into sight.

The shark had struck and disappeared and left his 
Bb         Eb
sweetheart dead.
Eb        Gm7        Ab     Eb         Bb
And as he pulled her to the shore, the boring waves 
     Eb
were red.

Yes, the water was red and his love was gone.

He looked towards the water and he saw the fin so he 
A      B              E
gently put her on the sand.
E                Abm          A           E
He walked to the water with a tear in his eye and a 
A        B            E
gleaming knife in his hand.
