[INTRO]
G6 Dmaj7
[VERSE]
G6
Chewing on a piece of grass
Dmaj7
Walking down the road
G6 Dmaj7
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
G6 Dmaj7
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
G6 Dmaj7
You don't care, I know
[CHORUS]
G6 Dmaj7
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
G6
Where the days are longer
Dmaj7
The nights are stronger than moonshine
G6 Dmaj7 F#m11
You're gonna go I know
Em F#m11
Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
Em F#m11
And the days surround your daylight there
Em F#m11
Seasons crying no despair
Em F#m11 G6
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Dmaj7 G6 Dmaj7 G6
Did di di di dit ...
[VERSE]
G6
Wishin' on a falling star
Dmaj7
Waitin' for the early train
G6 Dmaj7
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
G6 Dmaj7
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
G6 Dmaj7
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
[CHORUS]
G6 Dmaj7
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
G6
Where the days are longer
Dmaj7
The nights are stronger than moonshine
G6 Dmaj7 F#m11
You're gonna go I know
Em F#m11
cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
Em F#m11
And the days surround your daylight there
Em F#m11
Seasons crying no despair
Em F#m11 G6
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Dmaj7 G6 Dmaj7 G6
Did di di di dit ...
