Capo 2
D Em
Settling down with warm glow woodstove and kerosene
G D
Peace you're looking for Peace you'll find
Em
In the tangled mad cliffsides and crashing dark
G
of Big Sur
A
of Big Sur
D Em
Rapturous ring of silence Pacific fury
G D
Flashing on the rocks the sea shroud towers
Em
The innocence of health and stillness in the wilds
G
of Big Sur
A
of Big Sur
Em G
This whole surface of the world as we know it now
Em G
Will be covered with the silt of a billion years in time
Verse chords for interlude
D Em
I see as much as doors will allow
G A
I’m a long way from the beat generation
D Em
Here comes the nightly moth to his nightly death
G
in Big Sur
A
in Big Sur
D Em
The best thing to do is not to be false
G A
The rocks of the valley have left no howl of complaint
D Em
I’m just a sick clown and so is everybody else
G
in Big Sur
A

Verse Chords again, end on D
