[Verse 1]

[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]  [Riff]
Chewin' on a piece of grass walkin' down the road 
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]  [Riff]
   tell   me,   how   long   you   gonna     stay here Joe? 
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]  [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]

[Fmaj7]                   [Cmaj7]
Ventura Highway, in the  sunshine 
          [Fmaj7]                                         [Cmaj7]
Where the days are longer  The nights are stronger than moonshine 
[Fmaj7]                      [Cmaj7]                     [Em]
   You're gonna go         I know  ooo-oh  ooo-o-ooo-oh  ooo-oh ooo-o-ooo-oh 
          [Dm7]                  [Em]
Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
        [Dm7]                [Em]
And the day surrounds your daylight there
[Dm7]               [Em]
 Season's crying, no despair
    [Dm7]            [Em]                [Fmaj7]  [Intro Riff]
Alligator, lizards in the air, in the air

[Verse 2]

[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]  [Riff]
Wishin' on a fallin' star   Waitin' for the  early train 
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]  [Riff]
Sorry   boy,   but   I've  been   hit   by   purple rain 
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7]  [Riff]
Aw,  come on  Joe,    you   can   always     change your name 
[Fmaj7]                                        [Cmaj7] [Verse Fill]
Thanks    alot     son,      just    the     same

Where the days are longer  The nights are stronger than moonshine 
    [Fmaj7]                      [Cmaj7]                                [Em]

          [Dm7]                  [Em]
Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
        [Dm7]                [Em]
And the day surrounds your daylight there
 [Dm7]               [Em]
 Season's crying, no despair
    [Dm7]            [Em]                [Fmaj7]  [Intro Riff]
Alligator, lizards in the air, in the air
