	G	Dmaj7
	Chewin' on a piece of grass, walkin' down the road

(lead) (Riff 1)

(Rhy) G Dmaj7

Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?

(lead) (Riff 2)

(rhy) G Dmaj7

Some people say this town don't look good in snow.

(lead) Tacet until end of chorus

(rhy) G Dmaj7

You don't care, I know.

(Chorus)

	G	Dmaj7
	Ventura highway in the	sunshine

	G	Dm
Wh	ere the days are longer, the nights are stronger than mo	onshine

	G	Dmaj7	F#m
	You gotta go, I k	now

	G	Dmaj7
	'Cause the free wind is blowin'	through your hair

	G	Dmaj7
And the d	ays surround your	daylight there

	G	Dmaj7
	Seasons crying no	despair

	G	Dmaj7
	Alligator lizards i	n the air

	G
	In the air

(Do the intro, except switch riffs one and two with one another.)

(Verse 2)

(Lead) (Riff 2)

(Rhy) G Dmaj7

Wishin' on a fallin' star, waitin' for the early train

(Lead) (Riff 1)

(Rhy) G Dmaj7

Sorry son, But I been hit by Purple rain

(Lead) (Riff 2)

(Rhy) G Dmaj7

Aw, c'mon Joe, You can always change your name

(Lead) Tacet

(Rhy) G Dmaj7

Thanks a lot son, just the same.

(chorus)

To get the timing right with the words, you'll have to listen to the song.

Also, if you have 3 guitar players, if the 3rd plays the same riffs that the lead plays,

except 3 frets higher, it gives a really nice sound. You don't need a 12-string, but it

helps.
