[Intro]
D
[Verse]
G 
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
                                   D 
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
G 
Made up my mind to make a new start,
                                            D 
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
G 
Someone told me theres a girl out there
                                          D 
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

[Verse]
G 
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
                                               D 
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.
G 
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
                                           D 
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
    G 
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
                                      D 
As the children of the sun began to awake.
Dm 
Seems that the wrath of the gods
  
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
                     A7  A 
I think I might be sinking.
Dm 
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
  
Ill meet you up there where the path
                  A7  A 
Runs straight and high.
[Verse]
D
G 
To find a queen without a king;
                                              D 
They say she plays guitar and cries as she sings.
G 
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
                                                     D 
Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born.
G 
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
                                                   D 
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
