He

												
C                     G
He was just a friend of mine,  I'd run into from time to time
Am                F
Long before he moved away, we use to share a drink of wine.
C             G                F
Still I never knew that he was sad that way
C       F            G               F      C   G
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday

                C                         F
Chorus:		And he says its brilliant there, there's something in the air,
             C               G
and sunshine everywhere.  He's on the beach.
            C                   F
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
             C                   G
I'm not sure where he is, but he's out of reach.

C                       G
When he called me up one day and said that he was going away,
Am                         F
I thought he meant a week in France, and not 12,000 miles in Sydney Bay.
C               G        F
Still he had to take his chances.
C       F            G               F      C    G
He said the time had come for him to make a move away.

                C                         F
Chorus:		And he says its brilliant there, there's something in the air,
             C               G
and sunshine everywhere.  He's on the beach.
            C                   F
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
             C                G
He's on his own again, and he's out of reach.

Bridge:		And I don't blame him.  Leaving was the best thing he could do.
He longed for changes, I just hope he's happy,
when he does the things he thinks he has to do.
And he tries, and tries, and tries, but he's lived at home (?)
I think he's trying to be someone else, and he says, he says, he says,
C                    F
it's really unfair...there's something in the air,
             C               G
and sunshine everywhere.  He's on the beach.
            C                   F
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
             C          G
He's in Australia, so far out of reach.
            C                  F   C   G
And he says it's pretty(?) there.
