[D] [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] Chewing on a piece of grass, [A] walking down [D] the road
Tell me how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
[G] Some people say [B] this town [D] don't look good in snow
[G] You [D] don't care, I know
[G] Venture a highway [D] in the sunshine
[G] Where the days are longer, the nights are [D] stronger than moonshine
[G] You're gonna go, [D] I know
[F#m]
[Em] Cause a free wind is blowing [F#m] through your hair
[Em] And the days surround [F#m] your [E] daylight hair
Seasons crying, no despair
[Em] Alligator [F#m] lizards in the air
[G] In the air
[D] [G]
[D] There is no falling star, waiting for the early train
[G] Sorry [D]
boy, but I'll bring you my purple rain
[G] Come on Joe, you [D] can always change your name
[G] Thanks a lot son, [D] just the same
[G] Venture a highway [D] in the sunshine
[G] Where the days are longer, the nights [D] are stronger than moonshine
[G]
You're gonna [D] go, I know
[F#m]
[Em] Cause a free wind is [F#m] blowing through your hair
And the days surround your daylight [Em] hair
Seasons [C#] crying, no [Em] despair
Alligator [F#m] lizards in the air
