[Verse 1]
G6 Chewing on a piece of grass, walking down theDmaj7----- road,
G6 'Tell me, how long you gonna-Dmaj7---- stay here, Joe?
G6 Some people say, this town don't lookDmaj7---- good in snow,
G6 You don't care, ...I Dmaj7know!'
[Chorus]
G6 Ventura Highway, in the-Dmaj7----- sunshine,
Where the G6days are longer,
The nights are stronger thanDmaj7----- moonshine,
G6 You're gonna go, I Dmaj7know, oo -woh, oo -woh,
...Oo -woh, oo -woh, oo -woh, oo - F#m11woh!
[Bridge]
'Cause the Em7free wind is blowing F#m11through your hair,
And the Em7days surround your F#m11daylight there,
Em7 Seasons crying F#m11no despair,
Alli - Em7gator lizards F#m11in the air, ...in the G6air

G6 'Thanks a lot, son, ...just the Dmaj7same'
