Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Settling down with warm glow woodstove and kerosene&8232;
Peace you're looking for Peace you'll find
&8232;
In the tangled mad cliffsides and crashing dark
of Big Sur
of Big Sur
&8232;
Rapturous ring of silence Pacific fury
&8232;
Flashing on the rocks the sea shroud towers
&8232;The innocence of health and stillness in the wilds [Em]
of Big Sur
of Big Sur
&8232;
This whole surface of the world as we know it now
&8232;
Will be covered with the silt of a billion years in time
Verse chords for interlude
I see as much as doors will allow
&8232;Im a long way from [G]the beat generation [A]
&8232;Here comes the nightly moth to his nightly death
 [Em]
in Big Sur
in Big Sur
&8232;
The best thing to do is not to be false
&8232;
The rocks of the valley have left no howl of complaint
&8232;
Im just a sick clown and so is everybody else&8232;
in Big Sur
in Big Sur
Verse Chords again, end on D
