 THE COAST
 
 (Words by Paul Simon; Music by Paul Simon &amp; Vincent Nguini)
 
 
 This tab is from memory, so you are welcome to improve it. Song is in
 Bb, but unfortunately I didn't have time to figure out the actual chord
 progression. Nothing very complicated there, though.

 (lyrics copied here from
 
 with thanks to Roger Lai
 
 A family of musicians took shelter for the night
 In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia
 Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine
 Rose of Jericho and Bougainvillea
 
 This is a lonely life
 Sorrows everywhere you turn
 And that's worth something
 When you think about it
 That's worth some money
 That's worth something
 When you think about it
 That is worth some money
 
 A trip to the market
 A trip into the pearl gray morning sunlight
 That settles over Washington
 A trip to the market
 A trip around the world
 Where the evening meal
 Is negotiable, if there is one.
 
 This is a lonely-lone, lonely life
 Sorrows everywhere you turn
 And that's worth something
 When you think about it
 That's worth some money
 That's worth something
 When you think about it
 That is worth some money
 
 To prove that I love you
 Because I believe in you
 Summer skies, stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 If I have money
 If I have children
 Summer skies, stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah
 Summer skies and stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah
 Summer skies and the stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 
 We are standing in the sunlight
 The early morning sunlight
 In the harbor church of St. Cecilia
 To praise a soul's returning to the earth
 To the Rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea
 
 To prove that I love you
 Because I believe in you
 Summer skies, stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 If I have money
 If I have children
 Summer skies, stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 
 If I have weaknesses
 Don't let them blind me now
 Summer skies, stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 Oo-wah Oo-wah
 Doo Wop a Doo Wah
 Summer skies, stars are falling
 Leaving the shadow of the valley behind me now
 All along the injured coast
 Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
 Doo Wop a Doo Wah
 Summer skies and stars are falling
 All along the injured coast
 Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
 Doo Wop a Doo Wah
