D7
Forty miles south of Monterey, and the San Lucia Hills
The sun shine shone me to sleep and I dreamt I was alive
I sang myself a song it went, know what you know
Stay when you stay and go when you go
And I call it intuition
Flowers bloom and hummingbirds fly
Yes, I call it intuition
It gets me by

D7

Sailing on a silver ship, out to the open
Lonely and realizing that our friendship's been broken
And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away and
Leaves you thinking of the things that were never spoken, and
