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.
