[D] [F#m] blue, [Bm] blue
[D]
[F#m] Cashmere hills [Bm] filled with [D] evergreens
flowing from [F#m] the clouds [Bm] down to meet [D] the sea
[Em] with a [G] granite cliff
[A] as a [D]
[F#m] referee
[Bm] [D] crimson
[F#m] sunsets [Bm] and golden [D] dawns
a mother [F#m] deer [Bm] with her newborn
[D] arms all [Em] under Bixer's [G] sky
[A] that's where I [D] belong
[F#m] blue, [Bm] blue, [D] blue
[G]
Bixer I've [D] got plans for you
me [F#m] and mine [Bm] are going [D] to
add [F#m] ourselves [Bm] to your [D] leafy list [Em] of lovers
[A] and live [D] in [A] canyons covered [Bm] in [D] springtime green
wild birds [F#m] and flowers [Bm] to be heard and [D] seen
and [Em] with my old [G] Bixar [A] I'll make up songs [D] to [F#m] sing
blue, [Bm] blue, [D] blue
where bubbling [F#m] springs [Bm] from the [D] mountainside
join the Bixar [F#m] river [Bm] to the ocean [D] side
[Em] where the kids [G] can learn
[A] for seashells at [D] low [A] tide
blue, [Bm] blue, [D] blue
[G]
Bixar my [D] astrology
it says [F#m] that I [Bm] am made [D] to be
where [F#m] the rugged [Bm] [D] mountain meets [Em] the water
[A] and so [D] while stars [F#m] shine brightly [Bm] from up [D] above
the fog [F#m] rolls in [Bm] through a redwood [D] grove
into [Em] my dying fire
[A] I think I'll add [D] a lawn
[F#m] blue, [Bm] blue, [D] blue
from time to [F#m] time [Bm] I must go [D] away
but thoughts [F#m] of Bixar [Bm] won't let me [D] stay
away from [F#m] Bixar
[Bm] [D] oh [Cm] Bixar
[C] broken [Dm] shack
[C] an old man takes his time about dying
[F] [C]
[F] [C] just at [Dm] the back
[C] a wildflower [F] bed [G] that will light
[F] in dawn's new light
a man might [C] venture
a horse [Dm] drawn stage [C] from [F]
[C] Monterey
[F] [C] [F]
[C] down [Dm] the hill
[C] a wagon load of bodies lay [F] scattered
[C] [Dm] [C]
shipwrecked at sea
[F] a limestone ore is [G] all that mattered
they [F] took it from the hills
right in through the [C] cargo doors
and how many ships [Dm] have come and [C] gone
at Thurso's Landing Shore
[F]
[C] [Dm] [C] [Dm] the eagles fly
[C] you know that nature's balance is undone
[F] [C]
[Dm] [C] it's the birthright [Dm] of man
[C] to unify [F] and live his life [G] as one
[F] a whisper of the word will let you soar with your [C] soul
on [Dm] [C]
[F]
[C] my way to sunny California
on my way to spend another sunny day
mother of water
mother of water
mother of [F] water
the sunshine I laid down on the [A#] valley
[C] the sunshine I laid down on the [F] valley
you're so pretty
it'll just take your mind [C] away
it'll just take your mind [G] away
it'll just take your mind [F] away
[C] have you ever been south of Monterey
but Unca's carved the [F] coastline
[G] and the chaparral flows to the sea
neat waves of golden [C] sunshine
and have you ever been north of Morro Bay
the south coast [F] plows the sea
[G] and the people there are of a breed
that don't need electricity
[C] on my way
water
water gives itself a nap
who can't give yourself a nap
it gives itself a [F] nap
the sun and the fire
sits beneath [C] the plain
it gives itself a nap
[F]
[C] on [G] the mountain way
on the [F] mountain way
[C] have you ever been down Salinas Way
where Steinbeck found [F] the valley
[G] and he wrote about it the way it was
in his Traveling [C] with Charlie
and have you ever walked down through the sycamores
where the farmhouse used [F] to be
[G] there the monarch's autumn journey ends
on windswept [C] Cypress tree
water gives itself a nap
get to your side up ahead
the cool camp water
[F] the sun shines brightening down
on the mountain [C] way
it gives itself a nap
the [F] air's soft and that'll just take your [C] mind away
[G]
[F] away away
[C] have you ever been to a festival
the Big Sur
[F] congregation
where [G] country Joe will do his show
and sing about [C] liberty
[G] and the people there in the open air
are one big [C] family
yeah [G] the people there love to sing and share
the new found [C] liberty
