Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Chewing on a piece of grass
  Walking down the road
 Tell me, how long you gonna stay  here, joe?
 Some people say this town don't look  good in snow
 You dont care, I know
 Ventura highway in the  sunshine
 Where the days  are longer
 The nights are stronger than moonshine
 Youre gonna go I know
 cause the free  wind is blowin through  your hair
 And the days  surround your daylight  there
 Seasons crying no  despair
 Alligator  lizards  in the air, in the air
Did  di di  di  dit ...
 Wishin on a falling star
 Waitin for the  early train
 Sorry boy, but Ive been hit  by purple rain
 Aw, come on, joe, you can always
 Change your name
 Thanks a lot, son, just the same
 chorus....
