Verse

G
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
                                   D
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
G
Made up my mind to make a new start,
                                            D
Going to California with an aching in my heart.
G
Someone told me theres a girl out there
                                          D
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Verse

G
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
                                                D
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same.
G
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
                                           D
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
    G
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
                                      D
As the children of the sun began to awake.

Bridge

Dm
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
                     A7
I think I might be sinking.
Dm
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
                  A7
Runs straight and high.

Hang on D until singing starts

Verse

G
To find a queen without a king;
                                              D
They say she plays guitar and cries as she sings.
G
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
                                                       D
Trying to find a woman whose never, never, never been born.
G
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
                                                    D
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
