| Spent my | days with a | woman un | kind, |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Smoked my | stuff and | drank | all my wine. |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Made up my | mind to | make a new | start, |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Going to cal | ifornia with an | aching | in my heart. |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Someone | told me theres a | girl out | there |

| With | love in her | eyes and flowers | in her hair. |
| G | Bm | D | Bm | |
| Took my | chances on a | big jet | plane, |

| The sea was | red and the | sky was | grey, |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Wondered how | tomorrow could | ever | follow today. |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |

| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| As the | children of the | sun | began | to awake. |

| 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. |

| To find a | queen with | out a | king; |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| They | say she plays | guitar and | cries | as she sings. |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Ride a white | mare in the | footsteps of | dawn |
| G | Gbm | E | D | |
| Tryin to find a | woman whos | never, never, | never been born. |
| G | Bm | D | |
| Standing on a | hill in my | mountain of dreams, |
