[Verse 1]  

[Gmaj7]                                        [Dmaj7]  [Riff]  
Chewin' on a piece of grass walkin' down the road  
[Gmaj7]                                        [Dmaj7]  [Riff]  
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?  
[Gmaj7]                                        [Dmaj7]  [Riff]  
Some people say this town don't look good in snow  
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7] [Em]  
[End of Verse Fill] You don't care, I know.  

[Chorus]  

[Gmaj7]                   [Dmaj7]  
Ventura Highway, in the sunshine  
          [Gmaj7]                                         [Dmaj7]  
Where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than moonshine  
[Gmaj7]                      [Dmaj7]                     [F#m]  
You're gonna go I know ooo-oh ooo-o-ooo-oh ooo-oh ooo-o-ooo-oh  
          [Em7]                  [F#m]  
Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair  
        [Em7]                [F#m]  
And the day surrounds your daylight there  
[Em7]               [F#m]  
Season's crying, no despair  
    [Em7]            [F#m]               [Gmaj7]  [Intro Riff]  
Alligator, lizards in the air, in the air

[Gmaj7]                                        [Dmaj7]  [Riff]  
Wishin' on a fallin' star, waitin' for the early train  
[Gmaj7]                                        [Dmaj7]  [Riff]  
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain  
[Gmaj7]                                        [Dmaj7]  [Riff]  
Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name  
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]

          [Em7]                  [F#m]  
Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair

Season's crying, no despair  
    [Em7]            [F#m]               [Gmaj7]  [Intro Riff]  
Alligator, lizards in the air, in the air
