D Asus2 Em
Settling down with warm glow woodstove and kerosene
G Asus2
Peace you?re looking for, peace you?ll find
D Asus2 G
In the tangled mad cliff sides and crashing dark
Em D
Of Big Sur, of Big Sur
D Asus2 Em
Rapturous ring of silence, Pacific fury
G Asus2
Flashing on the rocks, the sea shroud towers
D Asus2 G
The innocence of health and stillness in the wilds
Em D
Of Big Sur, of Big Sur
CHORUS
G D
The whole surface of the world as we know it now
Em G D
Will be covered with the silt of a billion years in time
D Asus2 Em
I see as much as doors will allow
G Asus2
A long way from the Beat generation
D Asus2 G
Here comes the nightly moth to its nightly death
Em D
In Big Sur, in Big Sur
D Asus2 Em
The best thing to do is not be false
G Asus2
The rocks of the valley left no howl of complaint
D Asus2 G
And I?m just a sick clown and so is everybody else
Em D
In Big Sur, in Big Sur
CHORUS
