Very easy. One of the very first songs I learned. Great begnner tune.

Verse 1
A minorAm
When the lights go down in the California town

A minorAm
People are in for the evening.
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,

  A minorAm
My heart beats time with my breathing.

Driving over Canan, singing to my soul,

    A minorAm
There's people out there turning music into gold.

Verse 2
A minorAm
Now, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working, pumping gas,

    A minorAm
And he makes two fifty for an hour.

A minorAm
Sings rock and roll in the shower.
