1. Spent my days with a woman unkind,
F Em F C
smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
F Em Dm F
Made up my mind to make a new start,
F C
going to California with an aching in my heart.
F Em Dm F
Someone told me there’s a girl out there,
F Em F - C
with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

2. Took my chances on a big jet plane,
C
never let them tell you that they’re all the same.
F
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
C
wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
F
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake,
C
as the children of the sun began to awake. Watch out !
Cm
Seems that the wrath of the gods,
got a punch on the nose and it started to flow,
G
I think I might be sinking.
Cm
Throw me a line if I reach it in time,
I’ll meet you up there where the path
G - G7
runs straight and high. + C ~

3. To find a queen without a king,
F Em F C
they say she plays guitar and cries as she sings.
F Em Dm F
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn,
F Em F C
tryin’ to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born.
F
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
C
telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
+ Bb - C - Bb - C .....
