Verse One:
DGDG
I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space
DGG
I been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you
DGDG
All the places you would go, all the people that you know
DGDG
I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you
DG
And all them pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
DG
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face
DG
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
DG
Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars
D
They all think they're goin' far
Chorus:
DG
Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
DG
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
DGDG
All night long, all night long, all night long
Verse Two:
DG
Somebody said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
DG
So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand
DG
Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along
DG
As you danced over the water to some ol' forgotten song,
D
Were you even here at all?
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental (like verse two)
Verse Three (like verse two):
Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight
There's a Joshua Tree grows that little place you always liked
These pioneer town people they ain't got too much to say
and if they might have seen you they ain't givin' you away
Now it's been two days
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental (like verse two but longer)
Verse Four:
DG
I think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place
DG
That's the last time I saw that pretty smile upon your face
D
I've been lookin' for you baby
