intro: [D]
==
[G] Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all [D] my wine.
[G] Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in [D] my heart.
[G] Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in [D] her hair.
Instrumental
[F] [G] [D] x2
[G] Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all [D] the same.
[G] The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever [D] follow today.
The [G] mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to [D] awake.
[Dm] Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might [A7] be [A] sinking.
[Dm] Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and [A7] high[A] .
[D]
[G] To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries as [D] she sings.
[G] Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never [D] been born.
[G] Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as [D] it seems.
