_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] [A] I _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
didn't [F#m] know when I was [D] [E] lucky, _
[A] _ [F#m] discontented, feeling [D] [E] bad, [A] filled with [F#m] envy for [D] [E] possessions
other people [D] had.
_ _ [A] _ [D] _
[E] I found [A] my [F#m] pride had always [D] hurt [E] me, fought [A] the [F#m] world to gain [D] [E] control, [A] not [F#m] realizing I
[D] was [E] sitting on a beach of [D] gold.

To [A] know the [F#m] pleasure, _ _ [D] [E] first I had to cure [D] the pain.

[A] I'm a beggar _ and I'm sitting on a beach of [D] gold.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ I didn't have courage, my life [E] was as dark as night. _ _ _
_ [G] _ When alone in the darkness, I saw [E] the brightest light, let the light shine [A] down.

_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
All you have [F#m] and I want [D] empty, [E] _
[A] feel you've [F#m] nothing left [D] to give.
[E] _
[A] Sick of [F#m] trying, _ _ [D] [E] have you lost the will [D] to live?
_ [A] _ _ [D] _
[Bm] [A] Won't be [F#m] drowning in [D] the shallows [E] _

[A] Hear the voice [F#m] say, [D] stand up, [E] get up [D] and join me on the [A] gilded sand.
Come and join me on the beach _ [D] with _ [A] all the riches I [D] can hold.

_ _ [A] _ My children, my salvation, _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] look [Bm] forward to [F#m] this land.
[E]
[A] They're my teachers, _ _ [D] playing [A] on the [D] golden sand.
_ _ [A] With all _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the riches I can hold. _
I'm a [Bm] beggar, _ [F#m] sitting [E] on a [D] beach of gold.
