[Verse 1]
Gadd9    Gmaj9       G6sus2  Gadd9*
Spent my days with a woman unkind
Gadd9     Gmaj9     G6sus2  Gadd9      D  D9sus  D5 D6 D5
Smoked my stuff and drank       all my wine
Gadd9      Gmaj9   G6sus2     Gadd9*
Made up my mind to make a new start
Gadd9        Gmaj9          G6sus2 Gadd9     D  D9sus  D5 D6 D5
Going to California with an aching     in my heart
Gadd9   Gmaj9             G6sus2   Gadd9*
Someone told me there's a girl out there
Gadd9        Gmaj9        G6sus2 Gadd9      D  D9sus  D5 D6 D5
With love in her eyes and flowers    in her hair
 
[Interlude]
Dm9   G7/B G6/B  D5  D*         x2
Dsus2
 
[Verse 2]
Gadd9   Gmaj9        G6sus2  Gadd9*
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Gadd9         Gmaj9    G6sus2  D6sus  D11 D9sus   D  D9sus  D5 D6 D5
Never let 'em tell you that   they're all all the same
        Gadd9   Gmaj9       G6sus2  Gadd9*
Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
Gadd9        Gmaj9 G6sus2 D6sus D11  D9sus  D  D9sus  D5 D6 D5
Wondered how tomorrow     could ever follow today
Gadd9                 Gmaj9            G6sus2      Gadd9*
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
       Gadd9           Gmaj9 G6sus2 Gadd9  D  D9sus  D5 D6 D5
As the children of the sun   begin  to     awake             (watch out)
 
[Bridge]
Dm    Dm11     Dm    Dm11   Dm
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Dm11  Dm    Dm11   Dm   Dm11   Dm   Dm11  Dm
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
  Dm11    Dm          A11
I think I might be sinking
Dm    Dm11 Dm   Dm11 Dm    Dm11  Dm
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Dm11 Dm   Dm11 Dm Dm11  Dm  Dm11  Dm
I'll meet you up  there where the path
Dm11 Dm           A11
Runs straight and high
D
 
[Verse 3]
Gadd9     Gmaj9    G6sus2 Gadd9*
To find a queen without a king;
Gadd9 Gmaj9   G6sus2 Gadd9      D
They  say she plays  guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Gadd9        Gmaj9       G6sus2       Gadd9*
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Gadd9     Gmaj9 G6sus2      Gadd9          D
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Gadd9         Gmaj9      G6sus2      Gadd9*
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Gadd9   Gmaj9              G6sus2  Gadd9          D
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems
 
[Outro]
Dm9   G7/B G6/B  D5  D*    x2
Dsus2
