Ventura Highway chords
America 1972 (Dewey Bunnell)
Capo II
F Em 5x
F
Chewing on a piece of grass,
Em
walking down the road
F Em
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
F Em
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
F Em
You don't care, I know
F Em
Ventura Highway, in the sunshine
F
Where the days are longer,
Em
the nights are stronger than moonshine
F Em G
You're gonna go, I know
F Em
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair,
F Em
and the days surround your daylight there
F Em
Seasons crying no despair,
F Em G F
alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Em
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit
F
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit
Em
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit
F
Wishin' on a falling star,
Em
waitin' for the early train
F Em
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
F Em
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always change your name
F Em
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
F Em
Ventura Highway, in the sunshine
F
Where the days are longer,
Em
the nights are stronger than moonshine
F Em G
You're gonna go, I know
F Em
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair,
F Em
and the days surround your daylight there
F Em
Seasons crying no despair,
F Em G F
alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Em
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit
F
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit
Em
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit
F
Did dit dit dit dit, did dit dit dit dit . . .
