ventura highway chords
america 1972 ( dewey bunnell )

capo ii

F Em 5

xf
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 . . .
