This is about one of my favourite thing to do at the seaside. The trick is to find the flattest stone you can and put as much spin on it as possible.
Lyrics and Chords:
[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
The [G]kids are building castles in the [Em]sand
The [G]mums and dads are strolling hand in [D]hand
The [C]seagulls eye the picnics, [G]waiting for their [Dsus4]chance[D]
A [G]family's at the kiosk for ice [Em]cream
A [G]hardy soul is swimming in the [D]sea
While [C]I sift through the [Em]shingle
As I [C]wander on my [Dsus4]o[D]wn
[G]Trying to [Bm]find a [Em]rock the perfect [D]shape for [D7]skimming [G]stones
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
[G]Frisbees flying as they catch the [Em]wind
[G]Sunbathers show off their bronzing [D]skin
And [C]I sift through the [Em]shingle
As I [C]wander on my [Dsus4]o[D]wn
[G]Trying to [Bm]find a [Em]rock the perfect [D]shape for [D7]skimming [G]stones
[Gsus4]
[G][Em]
[G][D]
[C][G][Dsus4][D]
The [G]sky is fading out from blue to [Em]red
[G]Folks are heading home to find their [D]bed
I [C]still sift through the [Em]shingle
And [C]wander on my [Dsus4]o[D]wn
[G]Trying to [Bm]find a [Em]rock the perfect [D]shape for [D7]skimming [G]stones
If [C]I can score a [Em]ten, then [C]I'll meander [Dsus4]ho[D]me
Till [G]then I'll [Bm]fill the [Em]hours at the [D]shoreline [D7]skimming [G]stones
I'll [G]while a[Bm]way the [Em]hours at the [D]shoreline [D7]skimming [G]stones
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]
