CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO]
[G]
[VERSE 1]
I know this stretch of road, I’ve been here often
The [C]ocean rolls as far as you can see
The [Em]rocky coast is misty in the [C]sunlight
Seagulls flying low are flying [D]free
[VERSE 2]
Their [G]wings are like my memories and desires
Spreading [C]out to carry me along
And [Em]I remember everything that [C]mattered
The times when I was weak instead of [D]strong
[VERSE 3]
To[G]day the hills are restless with desire
They [C]shudder, shaking all their blossoms free
The [Em]scent of dusty pines and Euca[C]lyptus
Remind me of the time when I was [D]me
[VERSE 4]
I [G]left you and the rocky coast behind me
[C]Found a way to live without a heart
For [Em]I had left it throbbing in your [C]keeping
And grew another, praying it would [D]start
[CHORUS]
I [C]loved you like the sunlight on the [Em]ocean[G]
[C]Loved you like the [D]seagulls in their [Am]flights [D]
[C]Loved you like the [D]stars that shine in [G]heaven
[C]Loved you through the days and through the [Am]nights [D]
[VERSE 5]
I [G]hear the saints still pray along the ocean
I [C]see the padres walking in the dawn
The [Em]bells of Capistrano ring to [C]call them
To pray for us and sing their ancient [D]song
[VERSE 6]
Please [G]pray for me you padres of the ocean
[C]Pray I find my heart among the waves
For [Em]freedom’s left me panting for the [C]bondage
And you can see the light beyond the [D]grave
[VERSE 7]
I [G]know that stretch of road to Santa Barbara
[C]Been here on and off through all these years
I [Em]know that stretch of ocean as [C]far as I can see
Today I often see it through my [D]tears
[CHORUS]
I [C]loved you like the sunlight on the [Em]ocean[G]
[C]Loved you like the [D]seagulls in their [Am]flights [D]
[C]Loved you like the [D]stars that shine in [G]heaven
[C]Loved you through the days and through the [Am]nights [D]
[VERSE 7]
I [G]know this stretch of road, I’ve been here often
The [C]ocean rolls as far as you can see
The [Em]rocky coast is misty in the [C]sunlight
Seagulls flying low are flying [D]free
