Intro: Em  C


  Em          C
I took my few belongings,
   Em            C        Em      C Em C
We headed out to Pirate's Cove...
      Em          C
In my buddy's old Defender,
   Em            C       Em     C Em C
We ran until the gas got low...

        C               G       D                          Em      C Em C
We were flying close to heaven, Everything was starting to glow...
Em           C       Em               C      Em      C Em C
Drivin' into sunset, Rollin' cause we had to roll...


Em             C
I think he was a preacher,
    Em             C        Em     C Em C
But lord I can't recall his name...
       Em             C
He was running out of wind,
     Em           C         Em    C Em C
But talking to me just the same. 
        C                G        D                             Em    C Em C
He said five 'll get you ten, But boy you've got to stay in the game.
         Em            C                Em           C       Em       C Em C
Yeah you got to let it ride,  Or you've only got yourself to blame...

          Em             C
We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz,
      Em                C     Em      C Em C
So we partied with some motel maids...
   Em                  C           Em
My friend said I don't like mine...
   C                  Em      C Em C
So what do you say we trade?
          C           G       D                           Em      C Em C
She was a part of my heart,   Now she's just a line in my face...
            Em        C
They let us go with a warning;
           Em               C            C        C Em C
Said "We'd book you, but we don't have a case..."

   Em                   C
My friend said take her with you,
   Em                   C    Em       C Em C
To leave her here would be a crime...
              Em          C
But let's get outta Santa Cruz,
      Em       C        Em     C Em C
All I got is a Canadian dime.

        C              G
I got a friend in Mendocino, 
         D                        Em    C Em C
And it's gettin' close to harvest time.
            Em    C
And she was kinda cute...
Em          C        Em       C Em C
If a little past her prime...

       Em               C       Em C
On the trip to Pirate's Cove...
       Em               C       Em C
On the trip to Pirate's Cove...

Em           C         Em C
Drivin' into sunset... 
Em           C         Em C
Drivin' into sunset...
