Lyrics

Spend my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind, make a new start
Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet-plane
Never let 'em tell ya that they're aw-ooh-all the same
Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today-hee
Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake
Now
Watch out
It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose
And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high
Find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la-la-la-la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams
Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems

[eliemeouchi]

Very easy to play.
I mean to play the video.

[ryanj]

Really difficult to learn but once you do it's so nice to play. Thank you for this lesson. Took me about a good week to get the muscle memory working.

[vlodeklukasz]

It sounds right, reflects the spirit of country and rock. Played calmly and at ease.

[markgoodwin]

awesome...had no trouble figuring it out once I went to half speed -- thanks so much Oliver

[fernandopimenton]

Absolutely love the way you play this tune. If it's an original interpretation, you're the goat

[BaileyMcDade]

Thank you so very much for the production of this video. I have always wanted to learn this song and the work you have done here will really help. Your musicianship is top notch.

I learned this song when I was 15 years old. beautiful song 💗

[johnsimmons]

I love this format. You just play the song and show the tab, no BS. Thank you.

[songbirdsings]

The rolling tabs make it so much easier to discern what you're doing. Thanks!

[RideOp]

I've listened to this song for nearly 50 years and this is the most beautifully done cover that I've heard yet. Just wonderful!

[kostmah]

Great arrangement with such a good vibe.Bravo!

[ericgamliel]

This is the best way to do a song tutorial. Just lay it out. Thank you!

[andybratt]

Big respect to you man. I can't say that (at least to my ear) you have it 100% right on but you have it sooo close and it sounds better than anyone I've heard so far. Simple song but so hard to capture it's spirit. Thanks for showing us that... truly it made me happy to hear it.

[mitchellfies]

You make this look so easy, this is incredibly difficult to learn

Excellent! I've got my work cut out for me, but I can't wait to dig in.

Loving the Blueridge guitar! I never see anyone but myself with one... and I don't think I could have anything else!
