Scared
[G] my days with a woman unkind Smoking my stone drag
[D] On my ride [G] Made up my mind, making a start
Going to California with the naked
[D] in my heart
[Gm] [D]
[G] Someone [Bm] told me [G] there's a girl out there Loving her eyes and flowers
[D] In her hair
[Dm] My [D]
[Dm] [D]
[G] chances on a big jet plane
Never let them say that they're all [D] the same
[G] Oh, the sea was red and the sky was gray I wondered how tomorrow
Could ever [D] follow today
[G] Boulders in the canyon started trembling, shaking
Children of the sun beginning to [D] awake Watch out
[Dm] She flipped around, the night's got a punch on the nose
And it started [A] me sinking
[Dm] Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the rocks
[B] stretch
[A]
[D]
[G] Find the queen without a king
As she plays guitar and cries
[D] And sings
La la la la
[G] Ride a white mare on the footsteps of dawn
Try to find a woman who's never, never, never [D] been born
[G] Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard
[D] as it seems
[Dm] [D]
