[Verse 1]
C           F/C    C       F/C
 We met one summer evening
       C       F/C   C     F/C
As the sun was going down
        C     F/C    C     F/C
She was lying on the beach
       C    F/C   C     F/C
In her graduation gown
F7       Bb/F            F7      Bb/F
 She was wrapped up in a blanket
F7        Bb/F     F7            Bb/F
 (I could tell she knew her way around)

(instrumental)
G7            C/G    G7       C/G
 And as I lay down beside her
G7   C/G       G7   C/G    | C F/C C F/C | % |
 You know she never made a sound
 
[Verse 2]
C   F/C      C       F/C
 On down the beach
C         F/C            C     F/C
 Came the beach-cleaning man
C        F/C C      F/C
 Scoopin' up paper
C          F/C           C     F/C
 And flattening down the sand
F7      Bb/F F7  Bb/F F7  Bb/F F7            Bb/F [ C ]
 "Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda ... we've got to run away
| C F/C C F/C | % |
(instrumental)
G7           C/G         G7       C/G
 That big white truck is closin' in
G7 C/G             G7      C/G   | C F/C C F/C | % |
     And we'll get wounded if we stay"
 
[Verse 3]
C      F/C        C       F/C
 Now Lucinda lies buried
C           F/C        C       F/C
 'Neath the California sand
C    F/C  C F/C
 Put under
      C      F/C      C F/C
By the beach-cleaning man
  F7  Bb/F F7  Bb/F F7  Bb/F F7       Bb/F   [ C ]
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - why'd you have to go?
| C F/C C F/C | % |
(instrumental)
           G7 N.C.
Well, they sent her to high school
     G7 N.C.
They sent her to low school
G7 N.C.                  [ C ]
 She just wouldn't go no further
