Judy Collins - Big Sur CAPO: 3rd Fret [Intro] G [Verse 1] I know this stretch of road, I’ve been here often

The ^Cocean rolls as far as you can see The ^Emrocky coast is misty in the ^Csunlight Seagulls flying low are flying ^Dfree

[Verse 2]

Their ^Gwings are like my memories and desires Spreading ^Cout to carry me along And ^EmI remember everything that ^Cmattered The times when I was weak instead of ^Dstrong

[Verse 3]

To^Gday the hills are restless with desire They ^Cshudder, shaking all their blossoms free The ^Emscent of dusty pines and Euca^Clyptus Remind me of the time when I was ^Dme

[Verse 4]

I ^Gleft you and the rocky coast behind me ^CFound a way to live without a heart For ^EmI had left it throbbing in your ^Ckeeping And grew another, praying it would ^Dstart

[Chorus]

I ^Cloved you like the sunlight on the ^Emocean^G ^CLoved you like the ^Dseagulls in their ^Amflights ^D ^CLoved you like the ^Dstars that shine in ^Gheaven ^CLoved you through the days and through the ^Amnights ^D

[Verse 5]

I ^Ghear the saints still pray along the ocean I ^Csee the padres walking in the dawn The ^Embells of Capistrano ring to ^Ccall them To pray for us and sing their ancient ^Dsong

[Verse 6]

Please ^Gpray for me you padres of the ocean ^CPray I find my heart among the waves For ^Emfreedom’s left me panting for the ^Cbondage And you can see the light beyond the ^Dgrave

[Verse 7]

I ^Gknow that stretch of road to Santa Barbara ^CBeen here on and off through all these years I ^Emknow that stretch of ocean as ^Cfar as I can see Today I often see it through my ^Dtears

[Chorus]

[Verse 7]

I ^Gknow this stretch of road, I’ve been here often The ^Cocean rolls as far as you can see The ^Emrocky coast is misty in the ^Csunlight Seagulls flying low are flying ^Dfree
