E Standing on the beach F With a gun in my hand E Staring at the sea F Staring at the sand E Staring down the barrel F At the Arab on the ground E I can see his open mouth F But I hear no sound Chorus: Am A#m I'm alive Am A#m I'm dead E I'm the stranger F E F Killing an Arab I can turn And walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I chose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing Chorus I feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes Of the dead man on the beach (The dead man on the beach) Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#m  E  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
