It's a cold and rainy Friday night, city life's
       E11   D
got me all uptight.

My mind keeps wandering far away, vibrations tell

me it's time to leave L.A.

I want to walk beneath those Redwood trees..just

south of Monterey.

A                          Bm    A
A little cabin, quiet and alone..no television and

no telephone.
G                    Gbm                 G
Water trickling down this little stream..makes you
              F          E      Em G
wonder, is it all just a dream?

A                 D    A                       D
Going back to Big Sur..this time, I might just stay.

of Monterey.

Friendly people all  around, never try to put you down.
G                   Fmaj7           A          Am
Makes you feel like someone new and they don't care

who you are or what you do.

#3.
A                   Bm           A              Bm
Guess I'll drive up highway one..dig the ocean, kiss
            D
the setting sun.
G                 Gbm         G
The stars dancing in the sky, sort of puts you on a
F       A    Em7
natural high....

CHORUS:
A                 D    A                       D
Going back to Big Sur..this time, I might just stay.
A                         Db     Gbm        Bm
Going back and straighten out my head..just south
   E    A   G           A
of Monterey...(and that girl..)
