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 . . .
