Beaches Ukulele

(ver. 1)
The Supervillains
Band: The Supervillains

This is a great song off of the Supervillains' first album, “Grow Yer Own”. It's a
easy song. All together it's four chords: C, F, Fm, and G.
I play the verses with a reggae rhythm (on the upbeat) on the C's and just strum the
and Fm's, like they do in the song. The chorus, bridge and solo I play the same, strum the
F's, and Fm's and play the C's on the upbeat.
I'm pretty sure this is spot on. I could be wrong though, the guitar gets droned out
the horns at a few parts, but it think it is 100% correct. But as far as I know it's the
Supervillains tab out there, so deal with it. And it sounds great on the ukulele!

*I like to add a little something to the last chorus/outro. I add another line of
same as those above so it goes like this instead:

         C                       D

         D                     D#(let ring)
then you don't have nothing to lose.
(D)	      D
When you don't have anything
         C                     D
then you don't have nothing to lose.

You can make the vocals sound pretty cool for the 3rd line in that, and it just adds a
something. That would be MY interpretation, and the chorus above it is the correct way.
You'll have to practice singing along with the song a few times, because the vocals have
weird rhythm at some parts, but it's not too bad. If you have any questions or
Good luck, and happy playing.
