Good, I said, but where's the rest?
I didn't want to spend too much time on this song, so I didn't write tabs.
Just do some fingerpicking on these chords.
Don't keep your left hand fingers stuck on the chords positions... follow the picking
pattern above, and do a little improvisation now & then, especially on the strange
B7 chord.
verse: repeat | Em | C B7#5 |
Em: 022003
C: x3505x
B7#5: x2404x
chorus: repeat 2 times | Am7 Bm | C Em/D|
Am7: x02213 (don't know if the G on e string is in the song, but sounds good)
Bm: x24432
C: x3505x (try reaching for A on e string 5th fret with your little finger)
Em7/D: xx0787 (I know it looks like a G chord, but a G chords doesn't work)
solo: repeat 4 times | Em A7 | C Dsus |
Em: 022003
A7: x02020
C: x3505x
Dsus: x57075
B: 799877
lyrics & chords
| Em | C B7#5 | 2 times

Em C B7#5 and so on, each line 3 chords
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost anywhere in the USA
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Am7 Bm C Em7/D
Just a mirror for the sun
Am7 Bm C Em7/D
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Em C B7#5...
So much has come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth, in the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
solo: | Em A7 | C Dsus | 4 times, end with 2 or 3 bars fooling around on a B chord
In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory's got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost right here in the USA
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
end with:
